Lyrics:

Duke Ellington / Irving Gordon / Irving MillsIf you hear a song in blue like a flower crying for the dewThat was my heart serenading youMy PRELUDE TO A KISSIf you hear a song that grows from my tender sentimental woesThat was my heart trying to composeA PRELUDE TO A KISSThough it's just a simple melody with nothing fancy, nothing muchYou could turn it to a simphony a Schubert tune with a Gershwin touchOh! How My love song gently cries for the tenderness within your eyesMy love is a prelude that never diesA PRELUDE TO A KISS.

Billie Holiday Prelude To A Kiss
