"Misty" is a jazz standard written in 1954 by the pianist Erroll Garner. Lyrics by Johnny Burke:
“Look at me,
I'm as helpless as a kitten up a tree;
And I feel like I'm clingin' to a cloud,
I can' t understand I get misty, just holding your hand.
Walk my way,
And a thousand violins begin to play,
Or it might be the sound of your hello,
That music I hear,
I get misty, the moment you're near
Can't you see that you're leading me on?
And it's just what I want you to do,
Don't you notice how hopelessly I'm lost
That's why I'm following you.
On my own,
When I wander through this wonderland alone,
Never knowing my right foot from- my left
My hat from my glove
I'm too misty, and too much in love.
Too misty, And too much In love”
