Lyrics
Close Enough For Jazz
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
No use feeling sad
No use staying mad
Better when you're glad
You can be there in a heartbeat
When it's close enough for jazz
Close enough for jazz
Be glad with what you have
Even if it's half
Empty in the glass
If there's room to move your elbows
Then it's close enough for jazz
Close enough for jazz
When you're not in a hurry
When things may turn around
Never give in to worry
Try looking up not down, don't frown
Close enough for jazz
Is it persil is it daz?
Well it doesn't really matter
When it's better on the inside
And it's close enough for jazz
Close enough for jazz
Close enough for jazz
Close enough for jazz, oh yeah
