American recording artist Norah Jones,
released on February 26, 2002 by Blue Note Records.

Allaire Studios in Shokan, New York.
Come Away
with Me peaked at number one on the US Billboard 200,
and received Grammy Awards for Album of the
Year and Best Pop Vocal Album. It was
later certified Diamond by the RIAA on February 15,
2005 for shipments of over ten million copies in the United States, and has
sold over 27 million copies worldwide as of 2016 making it one of the best-selling
albums of all time.
Come Away
with Me is an acoustic pop album that features Jones supported by jazz
musicians: Kevin Breit, Bill Frisell, Adam Levy, Adam Rogers,
and Tony Scherr on
guitar; Sam Yahel on
organ; Jenny Scheinman on violin; Rob Burger on
accordion; and Brian Blade, Dan
Rieser, and Kenny Wollesen on drums. Jones wrote the title song. Guitarist Jesse Harris wrote
the hit "Don't Know Why". The album includes cover versions of "The Nearness
of You" by Hoagy Carmichael and "Cold, Cold Heart"
by Hank Williams.
Come Away
with Me incorporates blues, jazz, and folk music. Bobby
Dodd of All About Jazz writes that although the album features jazz standards, jazz
purists and academics "may deny [Jones] jazz credibility for her folk
infusion".

Come
away with me in the night
Come away with me and I will write you a song
Come away with me on a bus
Come away where they can't tempt us with their lies
And I
wanna walk with you
On a cloudy day
In fields where the yellow grass grows knee-high
So won't you try to come
Come
away with me and we'll kiss
On a mountain top
Come away with me and I'll
Never stop loving you
And I
wanna wake up with the rain
Falling on a tin roof
While I'm safe there in your arms
So all I ask is for you
To come
away with me in the night
Come
away with me.
