Better Than Anything (Album Version) - Nnenna Freelon

Better than sailing at midnight

Better than diving for pearls

Better than skiing in aspen

Better than feeding the squirrels

Better than finding a horseshoe

Better than losing your head

Better than anything borrow

Better than anything said

Better than singing right out loud

Or being spotted in a crowd

Better than anything except being in love

Better than four sets of dizzy

Better than count basie's band

Better than rollins and goltrane

Being on the stand

Better than ella fitzgerald

Better than miles' latest news

Better than bill evans' ballads

Better than joe williams' blues

Better than hearing lady day

Or checking in at monterey

Better than anything except being in love

Elephants dancing

Clowns on parade

Peanuts and popcorn

Fresh lemonade

Rides on the midway

Seals blowing horns

Being shot from cannons

Fresh ears of corn

Balancing a wire

Or watching tigers leap through fire

Better than

Better than

Better than

Better than anything except being in love

Yes it's

Better than anything except being in love

Better than

Better than

Better than

Better than

Better than

Better than

Better than

Better than anything except being in love

In love

In love
