I Let A Song Go Out Of My Heart

I Let A Song Go Out Of My Heart
music by Duke Ellington (near left)
lyric by Irving Mills (top left), Don Redman (center) & Henry Nemo

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 to be more than 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 some day."
