Billie Holiday - Prelude to a Kiss (1955 Version) Lyrics
Artist: Billie Holiday
Album: Miscellaneous
Genre: Jazz
- Songwriters: 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
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
Though it's just a simple melody
With nothing fancy, nothing much
You could turn it to a symphony
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
Though it's just a simple melody
With nothing fancy, nothing much
You could turn it to a symphony
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
My prelude to a kiss
In the Know
