Biography

Melody Gardot (born February 2nd, 1985) is an jazz artist from New Jersey USA, currently residing in Philadelphia. In 2003 she was run over by a car while riding her bicycle, leaving her disabled in hospital for over year. She had to re-learn things like to speak and walk. She also got over-sensitive to sound and light resulting in her all-day use of dark sunglasses. To this day she still uses a cane to walk. Her musical career began with piano lessons at the age of nine and music became her main therapy during her recovery to a normal life. Since her brain suffered neural-pathway damages she trained up her voice by humming and eventually sing into a tape recorder. She also learned to play the guitar while being hospitalized. She began writing songs and made them available on iTunes and later began performing them around Philadelphia venues. Radio station WXPN, who helped launch Norah Jones career, took notice of Gardot. They encourage her to make a demo which soon sparked the interest at Universal Records. She released her first album "Worrisome Heart" in 2006 (later re-released on Verve Records in 2008).

LYRICS

Hey little baby don't you cry
we got that sunny morning waiting on us now
there's a light at the end of the tunnel
we can be worry free
just take it from me
Honey child let me tell you now child

That morning sun is here to greet us
with a loving light, so warm
that morning sun is here to meet us
waiting on the waking up of everyone

She ain't gonna quit till you're smiling now
let me tell you child
let me tell you honey child

That morning sun has come to greet you
she's peeking round the corner
just waiting just to meet you
shining down on all your troubles
let me tell you child
let me tell you honey child

Cause this world wasn't made for dreaming
this world wasn't made for you
this world's made for believing
in all the things you're gonna do
now honey child, let me tell you now child

Cause this world wasn't made for dreaming
this world wasn't made for you
this world's made for believing
in all the things you're gonna do
now honey child, let me tell you now child
oh honey child, let me tell you now child
oh honey child, let me tell you child

let me tell you child
let me tell you child

hummm humm
hummm humm
