Vanity - Lyrics - Sarah Vaughan

Sarah Lois Vaughan was an American jazz singer, described by music critic Scott Yanow as having "one of the most wondrous voices of the 20th century."

They call it vanity because I'd rather be All by myself instead of laughing with the crowd If I don't care to be part of their gaiety They often say to me, "Don't be so proud" But how are they to know I'm looking high and low For love that used to be my own I never even glance When I'm offered new romance I can't because I'm yours alone Till you forgive again I'll never live again So will it be as long as we are far apart It may be vanity to think you'll come to me But is it vanity to hide a broken heart
