Songwriter: Richard Julian Lee Alexander

Producer: Norah Jones Arif Mardin

What did you say?
I know I saw you singin'
But my ears won't stop ringin'
Long enough to hear those sweet words
What did you say?

End of the day
The hour hand has spun
But before the night is done
I just have to hear those sweet words
Spoken like a melody

All your love is a lost balloon
Rising up through the afternoon
Till it could fit on the head of a pin

Come on in, did you have a hard time sleeping?
'Cause the heavy moon was keepin' me awake
And all I know is I'm just glad to see you again

See my love like a lost balloon
Rising up through the afternoon
And then you appeared

What did you say?
I know what you were singing
But my ears won't stop ringing
Long enough to hear those sweet words
And your simple melody

I just have to hear those sweet words
Spoken like a melody
I just wanna hear those sweet words

Norah Jones

The daughter of Beatles collaborator Ravi Shankar (her estranged father whom she had little contact with until her adult years), Norah Jones came into her own after studying at Dallas Booker T. Washington School of the Arts. She later spent two years at the University of North Texas' lauded music program in Denton, Texas – alma mater of such diverse music greats as rocker Don Henley and stalwarts Roy Orbison and Pat Boone.

Jones' goal was always to get to New York City, and she succeeded there after years of tough starter music gigs and the almost-cliched waitress jobs. Her debut album Come Away With Me won 5 Grammy Awards for Jones herself, including “Album of the Year”, and “Record of the Year.” Additionally, it won 3 Grammy awards for “Best Engineered Album, Non-Classical,” “Producer of the Year, Non-Classical,” and “Song of the Year,” for collaborators on the album. It has been Certified 10x Multi-Platinum by the RIAA, having sold 10 million albums.
