Duke Ellington & His Orchestra - I Let a Song Go Out of My Heart (alternate take 1) lyrics

I let a song go out of my heart It was the sweetest melody I know I lost heaven 'Cause you were the song Since you and I had drifted apart Life doesn't mean a thing to me Please come back sweet music I know I was wrong Am I too late To make amends You know that we were meant to be More than just friends, just friends I let a song go out of my heart Believe me darling when I say I won't know sweet music Until you return someday
