Duke Ellington
Reflections
Long, long ago
I gave my heart away
Wanting love so
And in naïveté
I dreamed, and dreamed, oh
How sweet life seemed
So long ago
With summer every day
How could I know
Some loves need games to play
My world fell flat
When love said, "That's that"
Love may burn
We live and learn
We find every answer
Out of the blue
Life was serene again
You wanted me
The world turned green again
You held me fast
Love was mine
At last
