[Bbmaj7]You make me [Gm7]smile with my [Em7b5]heart. [A7]

[Dm7]Your looks are [A/Db]affable.
[Dm/C]Unphoto[Bm7b5]graphable.
[Bbmaj7]Yet your my [Bbm7]favourite work of [C7b9]art.

Is your [Fmaj7]figure less than [Gm7]greek? [Am7] [Gm7]
Is your [Fmaj7]mouth a little [Gm7]weak?    [Am7] [Gm7]

[?]When you open it to speak, are you smart?
Don't change a hair for me, not if you care for me.
Stay little valentine, stay.
Each day is Valentine's day.


Enjoy....

My Funny Valentine
To Connie from Jeff

Elvis Costello - Alison - Malvasio
My friend petitchatnoir has been bugging me to do a version of this wonderful song from Elvis Costello's equally wonderful album My Aim is True. Without great risk to my personal health I can't sing this in the key I used to so I had to go low and Malvasionize. Alison Oh it's so funny to be seeing you after so long, girl. And with the way you look I understand that you were not impressed. But I heard you let that little friend of mine take off your party dress. I'm not going to get too sentimental like those other sticky valentines, 'cause I don't know if you are loving some body. I only know it isn't mine. Alison, I know this world is killing you. Oh, Alison, my aim is true. Well I see you've got a husband now. Did he leave your pretty fingers lying in the wedding cake? You used to hold him right in your hand. Bet he took all he could take. Sometimes I wish that I could stop you from talking when I hear the silly things that you say. I think somebody better put out the big light, 'cause I can't stand to see you this way. Alison, I know this world is killing you. Oh, Alison, my aim is true. My aim is true.

Alison by Elvis Costello
Alison by Elvis Costello as heard on One Tree Hill Season 6 Episode 5 entitled "You've Dug Your Own Grave, Now Lie In It" Lyrics: Oh it's so funny to be seeing you after so long, girl. And with the way you look I understand that you were not impressed. But I heard you let that little friend of mine take off your party dress. I'm not going to get too sentimental like those other sticky valentines, 'cause I don't know if you are loving some body. I only know it isn't mine. Alison, I know this world is killing you. Oh, Alison, my aim is true. Well I see you've got a husband now. Did he leave your pretty fingers lying in the wedding cake? You used to hold him right in your hand. Bet he took all he could take.
