(Edward "Duke" Ellington, Bob Russell)

Do nothing till you hear from me
Pay no attention to what's said
Why people tear the seams of anyone's dreams
Is over my head

Do nothing till you hear from me
At least consider our romance
If you should take the words of others you've heard
I haven't a chance

True, I've been seen with someone new
But does that mean that I've been untrue?
When we're apart
The words in my heart
Reveal how I feel about you

Some kiss may cloud my memories
And other arms may hold a thrill
But please, do nothing till you hear it from me--
And you never will

~interlude~

Some kiss may cloud my memories
And other arms may hold a thrill
But please, do nothing till you hear it from me--
And you never will
