Duke Ellington — I Let A Song Go Out Of My Heart (Take 1) lyrics

I let a song go out of my heart
It was the sweetest melody
I know I lost heaven
And you are 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, 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
