James Taylor - American Standard: Teach Me Tonight (Official Music Video)

Order James Taylor’s upcoming album American Standard here:

Written in 1954, “Teach Me Tonight" has become a jazz standard and been covered dozens of times. Dinah Washington’s version, an R&B hit in 1954, was inducted into the GRAMMY Hall of Fame in 1999.
It takes an extraordinary artist to re-imagine some of the most beloved songs of the 20th century and make them completely their own. Unlike most who have tackled similar material, American Standard’s beautifully simple, stripped-down arrangements are based on the 2-guitar collaboration of James Taylor and John Pizzarelli, rather than standard piano arrangements. James was determined to keep that sound at the center of the project, and the effect is mesmerizing.

LYRICS:
"Did you say I've got a lot to learn?
Well don't think I'm trying not to learn
Since this is the perfect spot to learn
Teach me tonight

Starting with the a-b-c of it
Right down to the x-y-z of it
Help me solve the mystery of it
Teach me tonight

The sky's a blackboard high above you
If a shooting star goes by
I'll use that star to write I love you
A thousand times across the sky

One thing isn't very clear my love
Should the teacher stand so near, my love
Graduation's almost here my love
Teach me tonight

The sky's a blackboard high above you
If a shooting star goes by
I'll use that star to write I love you
A thousand times across the sky

One thing isn't very clear my love
Should the teacher stand so near, my love
Graduation's almost here my love
Teach me tonight"
