Perdido,
I look for my heart It's perdido I lost it way down in Torito The day the fiesta started Bolero, I sway that they play the Bolero I kissed me the listing sombrero And that's when my heart departed High, was the sun when I held him close Low, was the moon when we said, "Adios" Perdido My heart ever since is Perdido I know I must go to Torito To find what I lost Perdido (scat) High, was the sun when I held him close Low, was the moon when we said, "Adios" Perdido Goodnight perdido I lost perdido |

If you hear a song in blue
like a flower crying for dew That was my heart serenading you MY PRELUDE TO A KISS If you hear a song that grows from my tender sentimental woes That was my heart trying to compose A PRELUDE TO A KISS 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 Oh! How my love song gently cries for the tenderness within your eyes My love is a prelude that never dies A PRELUDE TO A KISS. If you hear a song in blue like a flower crying for dew That was my heart serenading you MY PRELUDE TO A KISS If you hear a song that grows from my tender sentimental woes That was my heart trying to compose A PRELUDE TO A KISS 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 Oh! How my love song gently cries for the tenderness within your eyes My love is a prelude that never dies A PRELUDE TO A KISS. |

You ain't been blue; no, no, no.
You ain't been blue, Till you've had that mood indigo. That feelin' goes stealin' down to my shoes While I sit and sigh, "Go 'long blues". Always get that mood indigo, Since my baby said goodbye. In the evenin' when lights are low, I'm so lonesome I could cry. 'Cause there's nobody who cares about me, I'm just a soul who's bluer than blue can be. When I get that mood indigo, I could lay me down and die. |
