Carmen McRae - How Could I Settle For Less lyrics

Mine was a simple story Never a thought of glory I did what I did and what I had I was glad to posses But you changed my whole direction And now that I've seen perfection How could I settle for less? I was the shyest lover Ready to run for cover But look at me now I'm not the same, I aim to impress You gave me a glance at heaven And given a change at heaven How could I settle for less? Could Caesar span Cleopatra's door? Columbus turn once he saw the shore? I, I don't want fame or treasure Miracles made to measure The beautiful things that people Rate the greatest success I only want you forever And you and I close together How could I settle for? How, how could I settle? How could I settle for less? Tell me, tell me, tell me Tell me daddy, how could I settle for less? I wanna know, I want to know How could I settle for?
