[CatWoman]

3. With yellow feathers in her hair and a dress cut down to there

She would merengue and do the cha-cha
And while she tried to be a star, Tony always tended bar
Across a crowded floor, they worked from 8 till 4
They were young and they had each other
Who could ask for more?

8. I Have His "Even Now" Album

My favorite cut is "I Was a Fool To Let You Go". It that song had been written 20 years earlier, Frank Sinatra or Tony Bennett would have had a hit with it.

After I've had my last cigarette
When the night is as black
As the nights goin' to get
Well I'm still wild awake
Cause I still can't forget
I was a fool, to let you go
And after I've close the bar with the boys
Though I can't stand the drinks
And I can't stand the noise
When I know I'll be back
Cause their's no other choice
I know I was a fool, to let you go

I was a fool, to think that I could sleep a wink
In this big and deep bed by myself
And I was a fool to wate ,until it was to late
To tell you just how I felt

And after I've been with somebody new
And she know's what to say
Ah but not what to do
Then I know what I've lost
And I know it's so true
No I was a fool, to let you go

And after I've been with somebody new
And she knows what to say
Ah but not what to do
Then I know what I've lost
And I know it's so true
When I seen what It caused
And what I'm going through
I know I was a fool
I was a fool to let you go
