FROM JAMES:
"I’m so glad these three songs are getting a general release. We cut more songs than would fit on the album, American Standard, which made the promotional department happy. They find uses for the extra tracks, usually as 'exclusive' material for the big box retailers. But I’ve regretted not giving these three pieces the exposure I think they deserve.

I’ve Grown Accustomed to Her Face is from one of my parents’ favorite records, the cast recording of Lerner and Loewe’s My Fair Lady. '... damn, damn, damn, damn, damn... I’ve grown accustomed to her face...' Henry Higgins reluctantly realizes that he loves Liza Doolittle. Stuart Duncan plays a lovely tuned-down violin."

LYRICS
I've grown accustomed to her face
She almost makes the day begin
I've grown accustomed to the tune
She whistles night and noon
Her smiles, her frowns
Her ups, her downs

Are second nature to me now
Like breathing out and breathing in
I was serenely independent and content before we met
Surely I could always be that way again, and yet
I've grown accustomed to her look
Accustomed to her voice
Accustomed to her face

I guess I’m used to hear her say
Good morning everyday
Her joys, her woes
Her highs, her lows

They’re second nature to me now
Like breathing out and breathing in
I'm very grateful she's a woman
And so easy to forget
Rather like a habit
One can always break, and yet

I've grown accustomed to the trace
Of something in the air
Accustomed to her face
