Prelude to a Kiss

Lyrics

[Verse 1] If you hear my song in blue Like a flower crying for the dew That's just my heart serenading you A prelude to a kiss [Verse 2] And if you hear a song that grows From my tender sentimental woes That was my heart trying to compose A prelude to a kiss [Bridge] Though it's just a simple melody With nothin' fancy, nothin' much You can turn it to a symphony A Shubert tune with a Gershwin touch [Verse 3] Oh, how my love song gently cries For the tenderness within your eyes And my love is a prelude that never dies A prelude to a kiss [Instrumental Break] *Scat singing* (Kitchen) [Bridge] Though it's just a simple melody With nothin' fancy, nothin' much You can turn it to a symphony It's a Shubert tune with a Gershwin touch [Verse 3] Oh, how my love song gently cries For the tenderness within your eyes And my love is a prelude that never dies A prelude to a kiss [Outro] (Love you madly) *Scat singing* (Love you madly) This is the man who had A master plan For bebop and jazz and swing He gave us everything The rhythm, the harmony, the melody, the words His music's the best that you ever heard Lush Life and Satin Doll and Sentimental Mood Are some of the songs he wrote That's just to name a few With Billie and Ella and Sailor scattin' and rappin' His music is smooth as satin Check out the Duke (Hip chick) Love you madly Love you madly (Love you madly) Love you madly Madly love you, love you Love you madly Love you Love you Love you madly
