Duke Ellington
Prelude to a Kiss
[Verse 1]
If you hear a song in blue
Like a flower crying for the dew
That was my heart serenading you
My prelude to a kiss
[Verse 2]
And if you hear a song that grows
From my tender sentimental woes
That was my heart trying to compose
A prelude to a kiss
[Bridge]
Though it's just a simple melody
With nothing fancy, nothing much
You could turn it to a symphony
A Schubert tune with a Gershwin touch
[Verse 3]
Oh, how my love song gently cries
For the tenderness within your eyes
My love is a prelude that never dies
A preludе to a kiss
[Piano Solo]
[Bass Solo]
[Bridge]
Though it's just a simple melody
With nothing fancy, nothing much, nothing much
You could turn it to a symphony
A Schubert tunе with a Gershwin touch
[Verse 3]
Oh, how my love song gently cries
For the tenderness within your eyes
My love is a prelude that never dies
My prelude to a kiss
Prelude to a kiss
My prelude
