Dick Cary (July 10, 1916 in Hartford, Connecticut – April 6, 1994 in Sunland, California) was an American jazz pianist, trumpet and alto horn player, and prolific arranger and composer.
Cary first played with Joe Marsala in 1942, then played solo at Nick's in Greenwich Village in New York City in 1942-43. He also worked briefly with the Casa Loma Orchestra and Brad Gowans. During a stint in the Army in 1944-46, he managed to continue recording, with Muggsy Spanier and Wild Bill Davison among others. After his discharge he worked with Billy Butterfield, then joined Louis Armstrong's All-Stars in 1947-48. In 1949-50 he was in Jimmy Dorsey's orchestra, and in the 1950s worked with Eddie Condon, Pee Wee Russell, Max Kaminsky, Bud Freeman, Jimmy McPartland, and Bobby Hackett.
In 1959 he moved to Los Angeles, where he became an active freelance and studio musician. Beginning in the 1970s Dick led his own band, the Tuesday Night Friends, a group of top Los Angeles jazz musicians who enjoyed sight reading Dick's endless procession of original tunes and arrangements.
Glass of wine
Candlelight
Music made for quiet times
I'm feelin' mellow
I need my
Sweetie pie
Here to lay me out tonight
I want it
I want it
But I can't get it
Take good care of me tonight
At home
I'm so alone
I'm wishin' you were here
Baby tonight
My bed is cold
I'm wishin' you were near
Cause I'm in a sexy mood
And only you can fill my needs
I'll lay here
And take care of it
'Til you come home to me
Always sound sensuous
Anytime we pillow talk
Using such few words
I get sensitive when you work
It feels so good when it hurts
Always want more and more
And I know you can't be here
That usually don't faze me
I need you tonight
Boy it's drivin' me crazy
Yearnin' inside
With this burnin' desire
I want it
I want it
But I just can't get it from you
Take good care of me tonight
At home
I'm so alone
I'm wishin' you were here
Baby tonight
My bed is cold
I'm wishin' you were near
Cause I'm in a sexy mood
And only you can fill my needs
I'll lay here
And take care of it
'Til you come home to me
Ah ah
Take care of me
Ah ah
Fufill my needs
Ah ah,
Take care of me
Take good care
Ah ah
Take care of me
Ah ah
Fufill my needs
Ah ah
Whatever you can be
Ah ah
I'll take good care of me
Take good care of me tonight
At home
I'm so alone
I'm wishin' you were here
Baby tonight
My bed is cold
I'm wishin' you were near
Cause I'm in a sexy mood
And only you can fill my needs
I'll lay here
And take care of it
'Til you come home to me
Ah ah
Take care of me
Ah ah
Fufill my needs
Ah ah
Take care of me
Take good care
Ah ah
Take care of me
Ah ah
Fufill my needs
Ah ah
Whatever you can be
Ah ah
