Duke Ellington
Don’t Get Around Much Anymore
Missed the Saturday dance
Heard they crowded the floor
Couldn't bear it without you
Don't get around much anymore
Thought I'd visit the club
Got as far as the door
They'd have asked me about you
Don't get around much anymore
Oh, Darling I guess my mind's more at ease
But nevertheless, why stir up memories
Been invited on dates
Might have gone but what for
Awfully different without you
Don't get around much anymore
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 had 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 darling when I say
I won't know sweet music
Until you return someday
