Duke Ellington - Azalea lyrics

It was such a fine spring day Down Lou'siana way With fragrance divine And such magnificent regalia Oh, so fine Azalea Oh what a lovely sight In red, pink and white Can't held but believe That nothing evil can a**ail you So naïve Azalea You're at ease on the knees Of the moss covered trees Whose tops meet to make a high ceiling In the church-like pomp Of the cypress swamp I've yet to get that same strange feeling I've got to go back there And find that blossom fair I always dream of 'Cause with you who could be a failure? My first love Azalea
