[Verse 1]
Sky was blue, high above
The moon was new and so was love
This eager heart of mine kept singing
Lover, come back, lover, come back, lover, come back to me

You came at last, love had its day
That day is past and you've gone away
This eager heart of mine keeps singing
Lover, come back, lover, come back, lover, come back to me

[Bridge]
I remember every little thing you used to do
I'm so lonely
Every road I walk along I walk along with you
No wonder I am lonely

[Verse 2]
Sky was blue, night was cold
The moon was new but love was old
While I'm waiting here, this heart of mine keeps singing
Lover, come back, lover, come back, lover, come back to me

[Verse 3]
The sky was blue and high above
The moon was new and so was love
This eager heart of mine was singing
Lover, come back, lover, come back, lover, come back to me

You came at last, love had its day
That day has past, you've gone away
This eager heart of mine keeps singing
Lover, come back, lover, come back, lover, come back to me

[Bridge]
I remember every little thing you used to do
I'm so lonely
Every road I walk along I walk along with you
No wonder I am lonely

[Verse 4]
The sky was blue, night was cold
The moon was new but love was old
While I'm waiting here, this heart of mine keeps singing
Lover, come back, lover, come back, lover, come back to me
Lover, come back, lover, come back, lover, come back to me
Lover, come back, lover, come back, lover, come back to me

[Outro dialogue]
Thank you so much
Thank you, ladies and gentlemen
You're absolutely wonderful
Ladies and gentlemen, we lost a true heavyweight several months ago
I miss her intensely
Ella Fitzgerald was the single greatest singer on the planet
Ella Fitzgerald did it for me like no other singer did it
Ella, you showed me the way
That's the title of one of the songs that she wrote
And it perfectly fits how I feel about her
She did show me the way
I became a scat singer by listening to Ella Fitzgerald
She was, she was wonderful, she was adorable
I'd like to do a couple of tunes for you right now
Beginning with a beautiful ballad that was prevalent in the 1930s, the late 1930s
And this song was sung by a lot of people
But never like it was sung by Ella Fitzgerald
