In My Solitude

In My Solitude
music by Duke Ellington (near left)
lyric by Irving Mills (far left) & Edgar DeLange (right)

In my solitude, you haunt me,
With reveries of days gone by.
In my solitude, you taunt me,
With memories that never die.

I sit in my chair, filled with despair, nobody could be so sad.
With gloom ev'rywhere, I sit and I stare, I know that I'll soon go mad...

In my solitude, I'm praying, dear lord above,
Send back my love...
