Duke Ellington - Lady In Blue lyrics

There is a gay Lady in blue

Haunting my dreams all the night thru.

She seems to creep into my sleep

Day after day and nights without number

I see her rise right under my eyes

Out of blue shadows while I'm lost in slumber:

There in the dark she is so fair

But with the dawn she's never there

For with the bright morning's new light

I wake and find the dream I've had

In mind was a Lady in Blue

Shadows of the night.

There is a gay Lady in blue

Haunting my dreams all the night thru.

She seems to creep into my sleep

Day after day and nights without number

I see her rise right under my eyes

Out of blue shadows while I'm lost in slumber:

There in the dark she is so fair

But with the dawn she's never there

For with the bright morning's new light

I wake and find the dream I've had

In mind was a Lady in Blue

Shadows of the night.
