Cassandra Wilson, I've grown accustomed to his face1988

 Fue en el tercer disco de Cassandra Wilson, grabado en febrero de 1988 en Nueva York, donde se incluía este "I've grown accustomed to his face", un clásico de Lerner y Loewe perteneciente a la comedia musical My Fair Lady (1956). El disco sería reeditado en 2002, cambiándole el título por Blue Skies. En la grabación contó con Lonnie Plaxico al bajo y con Mulgrew Miller al piano. La voz tan especial, su forma de interpretar tan personal de Wilson hacen una versión única de este tema tan versioneado dentro y fuera del Jazz, de Diana Krall a Marvin Gaye. ¡Disfrútala!

"I've grown accustomed to his face" (Lerner y Loewe)

I've grown accustomed to his face

He almost makes the day begin

I've grown accustomed

To the tune that he whistles night and noon

His smiles, his frowns

His ups, his downs

Are second nature to me now

Like breathing out and breathing in

I was serenely independent

And content before we met

Surely I could always be that way again

And yet, I've grown accustomed to his look

Accustomed to his voice

Accustomed to his face 

I'm so used to hearing him say

"Good morning, " every day

His joys, his woes

His highs, his lows

Are second nature to me now

Like breathing out and breathing in

I'm very grateful he's a man and so easy to forget

Rather like a habit one can always break

And yet, I've grown accustomed

To the trace of something in the air

Accustomed to his face
