Canciones que cuentan una historia - Hoy: To Keep My Love Alive - Para mantener vivo mi amor

 Música: Richard Rodgers

Letra: Lorenz Hart

 

(Verse)

I've been married and married

And often I've sighed

I'm never a bridesmaid

I'm always the bride

I never divorced them

I hadn't the heart

Yet remember these sweet words:

"Till Death do us part."

 

(Chorus 1)

I've married many men, a ton of them

And yet I was untrue to none of them

Because I bumped off everyone of them

To keep my love alive

 

Sir Paul was frail, he looked a wreck to me

At night he was a horse's neck to me

So I performed an appendectomy

To keep my love alive

 

Sir Thomas had insomnia

He couldn't sleep at night

I bought a little arsenic

He's sleeping now all right

 

Sir Philip played the harp, I cussed the thing

I crowned him with his harp to bust the thing

And now he plays where harps are just the thing

To keep my love alive

To keep my love alive

 

(Chorus 2)

I thought Sir George had possibilities

But his flirtations made me ill at ease

And when I'm ill at ease, I kill at ease

To keep my love alive

 

Sir Charles came from a sanatorium

And yelled for drinks in my emporium

I mixed one drink, he's in memoriam

To keep my love alive

 

Sir Francis was a singing bird

A nightingale, that's why

I tossed him off my balcony

To see if he could fly

 

Sir Athelstane indulged in fratricide

He killed his dad, and that was patricide

One night I stabbed him by my mattress side

To keep my love alive

To keep my love alive
