この歌をご存じか？
The sun is shining
The grass is green
The orange and palm trees sway.
There’s never been such a day
In Beverly Hills LA.
But it's December the 24th
And I am longing to be up North.

I Wanna Be Around
 1959年にオハイオに住む美容師Sadie
Vimmerstedtという女性から歌のアディ
アとなる一行の文がマーサーの所に送ら
れてきました。
 I want to be around to pick up the pieces
when somebody's breaking your heart
I WANNA BE AROUND
I wanna be around to pick the pieces
Somebody breaks your heart
Some, somebody’s twice as smart as I
Somebody who will swear to be true
You used to do with me
Leave you to learn that misery loves company
I mean I wanna be around
To see how he does it
When he breaks your heart to bits
Let’s see if the puzzle really fits so fine
That’s when I’ll discover that revenge is sweet
As I sit they’re applauding from a front row seat
Somebody breaks your heart like you broke mine
Tony Bennett with Ralf Sharon
When October Goes
マーサーの死後、見つけられた遺作の詞
