about

One of her oldest pieces, All I Need is You (previously: Lasagna) was composed by Sterling at 13 years of age and first performed on stage at said age at the Shenkmann arts Centre with the accompaniment of her guitar teacher. Since then, her voice has evolved and grown into the fluorescent jazz scat singing the piece requested. All I Need is You has become one of her jazz classics over the years, and you likely will catch her playing it live at any of her shows.

lyrics

verse 1
Get out, please get off of my mind/for when the lights go out I cannot sleep
Without the thought of you thinking of me/now I wait while I weep
This cannot wait a month/my heart has nearly died too
And it's only been a day/since I've seen you

CHORUS
Lighting candles, pretty flickering flames to remind me of you
All my needs go up with the smoke, all I need is you
Lighting candles, pretty flickering flames to remind me of you
All my wants and needs and fears disappear with the smoke, all I need is you

-Scat section-

verse 2
Now it's cold and it's dark, and you're standing there in the moonlight.
So far to touch, yet so close in my memories of that one night
So this is love, this never ceasing hopeless feeling that exists in me
How I long to see those eyes again, but time's a fee.

{CHORUS}
-scat section-
