Summertime & the Living is . . . Easy?

Oh, Miss Ella - would that it were so! With numbers like these, "Ain't no cure for the summer time blues" feels closer to the truth. 

But listening to your soothing lullaby, and seeing you have the grace to perspire 

and hold the note 

in beauty 

and take your sweet time 

I come to know

 the best way

 to meet the heat, is not to beat it, but

  simply to surrender;

 to melt 

and

 to let go 

of all plans of doing 

and 

just 

to be.
