Alfie (Live at The Coliseum) lyrics
by Ella Fitzgerald
[Intro]
Sexy lights, dear
[Verse 1]
What's it all about, Alfie?
Is it just for the moment we live?
What's it all about when you sort it out, Alfie?
Are we meant to take more than we give
Or are we meant to be kind?
[Verse 2]
And if only fools are kind, Alfie
Then I guess it is wise to be cruel
And if life belongs only to the strong, Alfie
What will you lend on an old golden rule?
[Bridge]
As sure as I believe
There's a Heaven abovе, Alfie
I know there must bе something more
Something even non-believers can believe in
[Verse 3]
I believe in love, Alfie
Without true love, we just exist, Alfie
Until you find the love you've missed
You're nothing, Alfie
[Bridge]
When you walk, let your heart lead the way
And you'll find love any day
'Cause you're nobody 'til somebody loves you
You're nobody unless somebody cares
So, what's it all about when you sort it out?
[Verse 3]
I believe in love, Alfie
Without true love, we just exist, Alfie
Until you find the love you've missed
You're nothing, Alfie
[Outro]
When you walk, let your heart lead the way
And you'll find love any day, Alfie
Alfie
Alfie
(If you love her, clap!)
I thank you so much
