Harlem Nocturne (Nocturne for the Blues)

A nocturne for the blues played on a broken heartstring

It's wailing out the news, my baby is gone from me

Dark shadows in the rain, a telephone that won't ring

Just memories remain of lovers that used to be

I miss the laughs and the fun, my spot in the sun

When I was the one, one and only

The music and lights, those wonderful nights

The morning is the time we'd kiss

The laughs and the fun, my days in the sun

They're over and done and I'm lonely

Don't ask me to hide the heartbreak inside

The gleaming spark is gone, the light went dark

This nocturne for the blues took all and left me nothing

Nothing but the blues till baby comes back to me

This nocturne for the blues took all and left me nothing

Nothing but the blues 'til baby comes back to me

'Til my baby comes back to me

'Til my one and only baby comes back to me

I'll sing a Harlem Nocturne
