Harlem Nocturne

A nocturne for the blues played on a bro - ken heart string

It's wailing out the news my baby is gone from me.

Dark shadows in the rain, a tel - e - phone that won't ring

Just mem - o - ries re- main of lovers that used to be.

I miss the laughs and the fun, my spot in the sun

When I was the one one and only.

The music and lights, those wonderful nights

The morn - ing is the time we'd kiss.

The laughs and the fun, my days in the sun,

They're over and done, and I'm lonely;

Don't ask me to hide the heartbreak in - side

The gleam - ing spark is gone, the light went dark.

This nocturn for the blues took all and left me nothing

Nothing but the blues 'til baby comes back to me
