I should have been an architect
dreaming of construction,
upon my deck,

step by step

I should have built a house of my desire

with walls of glass and golden spire

I should have been an architect

But I've built my life more carelessely

Listening to the best of Chet Baker

I'll make it last forever

Listening to the best of Chet Baker

I should have built a palace in the sky

and lain on a balcony of stars

making love until the day I die

on a king-sized bed of fiery meteors

I would have seen the ma'
who's dancing on the moon

My lover once but he lost the tune

I've built my life more carelessely

Listening to Chet Baker

LIstening to Chet Baker

I should have been many other things
like a church bell ringer

jet A set swinger,

a flower smeller,

a carol singer

NON je ne regrette rien

Non je ne regrette rien

Listening to the best of Chet Baker

Listening to the best of Chet Baker
