Duke Ellington / Irving Gordon / Irving Mills If you hear a song in blue like a flower crying for the 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 simphony 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.
