DEVIL MAY CARE (Diana Krall)
Bob Dorough

as rec by Diana Krall 1999


No cares for me,
I'm happy as I can be,
I learned to love and to live,
Devil may care!
No cares and woes,
Whatever comes later goes,
That's how I'll take and I'll give,
Devil may care!

When the day is through,
I suffer no regrets,
I know that he who frets
Loses a night.
For only a fool
Thinks he can hold back the dawn;
He who is wise
Never tries
To revise
What's past and gone.

Live love today,
Let come tomorrow what may;
It doesn't help if you cry,
That's how I'll live and I'll die,
Devil may care!

No cares for me,
I'm happy as I can be,
I learned to love and to live,
Devil may care!
No cares and woes,
Whatever comes later goes,
That's how I'll take and I'll give,
Devil may care!

When the day is through,
I suffer no regrets,
I know that he who frets
Loses the night.
For only a fool
Thinks he can hold back the dawn;
He who is wise
Never tries
To revise
What's past and gone.

Live love today,
Let come tomorrow what may;
It doesn't help if you cry,
That's how I'll live and I'll die,
Devil may care!
Devil may care!
Surely devil may care!
Devil may care!
