Lyrics
6. DIDI WHITE
Her name was Didi White
Her hair was Irish red
Her eyes were crystal blue
When she looked at you
Boy, she looked at you
Saw right through
A freezing winter night
A Chicago kind of cold
Where the wind cuts like a blade
We were ready-made
For a lover’s song
To be played
Acting was her trade
But living was her art
Flirtatious in a bar
A dead-eye with a dart
That was Didi to a T
And how it came to be
That Didi White
Warmed one winter night with me
Bacardi on the rocks
Made our conversation flow
She seemed willful, she seemed wise
She said, “No disguise
Let’s tell no tales
Tell no lies”
Said, “I’m moving to L. A.
Where my fortune will be found
And a woman travels light
So let’s play this right
Play this lover’s song
Just tonight”
Acting was her trade
But living was her art
She’d bruise you with a smile
Then choose you with her heart
That was Didi to a T
And how it came to be
That Didi White
Warmed one winter night with me
Acting was her trade
But living was her art
Contagious with her laugh
Outrageous from the start
That’s who Didi seemed to be
I hope she would agree
Didi White
Warmed one winter night with me
