ELLA FITZGERALD - Of Thee I Sing (Ba lyrics

I’ve had desert visions

When the moon is shining bright

The end of the rainbow promise

Almost in my sight

Sat with my back against cold stone

Waiting for the morning light

And all the things I’ve seen in dreams

Have kept me up all night

Always reaching to the sky

Soft hard stone

I’m sitting here and thinking

Bout all the centuries it’s known

Got a feeling someone’s near

Listening to the east wind moan

You know there’s no one here

But I just don’t feel alone

Fading lady light

Always here with me

Singing your song in the wind at night

You know I’ve never felt so free

You’re my reality

Don’t you fade away from me

The wind it paints your face

As it stirs the shifting sand

Nightmare creatures closing in

They leave at your command

If only you were beside me now

Maybe I would understand

And I could leave my dreams for life

To live the dream we planned

(repeat chorus)
