Chamber jazz, Rhodes and nylon guitar share a lyrical motif with sparse clarinet and vibraphone replies, warm upright bass and soft brushes; light easy swing, close recording, silvery warm female alto in a comfortable low-middle register, conversational straight tone with slow cadence vibrato, relaxed breaths and clear diction, intimate delivery, full lines breathing over one or two bars with small melodic turns.
Lyrics & section notes
[Instrumental Intro]
[Verse 1]
O mistress mine, where are you roaming?
O stay and hear, your true love’s coming,
That can sing both high and low.
Trip no further, pretty sweeting.
Journeys end in lovers meeting,
Every wise man’s son doth know.
What is love? ’Tis not hereafter,
Present mirth hath present laughter.
What’s to come is still unsure.
In delay there lies no plenty,
Then come kiss me, sweet and twenty.
Youth’s a stuff will not endure.
[Instrumental Interlude]
[Final Reprise]
O mistress mine, where are you roaming?
O stay and hear, your true love’s coming,
That can sing both high and low.
Trip no further, pretty sweeting.
Journeys end in lovers meeting,
Every wise man’s son doth know.
What is love? ’Tis not hereafter,
Present mirth hath present laughter.
What’s to come is still unsure.
In delay there lies no plenty,
Then come kiss me, sweet and twenty.
Youth’s a stuff will not endure.
