Lyrics What Are You Doing the Rest of Your Life? - Abbey Lincoln, Archie Shepp, Hilton Ruiz

What Are You Doing the Rest of Your Life?

What are you doing the rest of your life?
North and South and East and West of your life
I have only one request of your life
That you spend it all with me.
All the seasons and the times of your days.
All the nickels and the dimes of your days.
Let the reasons and the rhymes of your days.
All begin and end with me.
I want to see your face,
In every kind of light,
In fields of gold and
Forests of the night;
And when you stand before
The candles on a cake.
Oh let me be the one to hear
The silent wish you make.
Those tomorrows waiting deep in your eyes
In the world of love you keep in your eyes,
I’ll awaken what’s asleep in your eyes,
It may take a kiss or two.
Through all of my life.
Summer, Winter, Spring and Fall of my life,
All I ever will recall of my life
Is all of my life with you.
