"I Let A Song Go Out Of My Heart" lyrics

"I Let A Song Go Out Of My Heart"
(originally by Duke Ellington)

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 have 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
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, oh, oh

I let a song go out of my heart
'Twas the sweetest melody
I lost heaven 'cause you were the song
Since we two have drifted apart
Life is not a thing to me
Come back, music, I know I was wrong

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


Writer(s): Irving Mills, Edward Kennedy Ellington, Henry Nemo
