Lyrics Billy Eckstine

Billy Eckstine

Jealousy

Jealousy, night and day you torture me

I sometimes wonder if this spell that I'm under

Can be only a melody, for I know no one but me

Has won your heart, but when the music starts

My peace departs from the moment

They play that lovely strain

And we surrender to all it's charm again

This jealousy that tortures me is ecstasy, mystery, pain

We dance to a tango of love

Your heart beats with mine as we sway

Your eyes give the answer I'm dreaming of

That soft word your cruel lips will never say

I fear that the music will end

And shatter the spell it may lend

To make me believe when your eyes just deceive

And it's only the tango that you love
