I Let A Song Go Out Of My Heart

Duke Ellington

I let a song go out of my heart

It was the sweetest melody

I know I lost heaven 'cause you were the song



Since you and I have drifted apart

Life doesn't mean a thing to me

Please come back, sweet music, I know I was wrong



Am I too late to make amends?

You know that we were meant to be more than just friends, just friends



I let a song go out of my heart

Believe me, darlin', when I say

I won't know sweet music until you return some day







I let a song go out of my heart

Believe me, darlin', when I say

I won't know sweet music until you return some day
