Harlem Nocturne
Duke Ellington
Intro: A nocturne for the blues played on a broken heart string It’s wailing out the news my baby is gone from me Dark shadows in the rain a telephone that won’t ring Just memories remain of lovers that used to be I miss the laughs and the fun my spot in the sun When I was the one one and only The music and lights those wonderful nights The morning is the time we’d kiss The laughs and the fun my days in the sun They’re over and done and I’m lonely Don’t ask me to hide the heartbreak inside The gleaming spark is gone the light went dark This nocturn for the blues took all and left me nothing Nothing but the blues ’til baby comes back to me
