Solitude

(1934) eddie delange, irving mills, duke ellington

In my solitude you haunt me
With reveries of days gone by
In my solitude you taunt me
With memories that never die

I sit in my chair
Filled with despair
Nobody could be so sad
With gloom evrywhere
I sit and I stare
I know that Ill soon go mad

In my solitude
Im praying
Dear lord above
Send back my love


Original lyric

In my solitude you haunt me
With reveries of days gone by
In my solitude you taunt me
With memories that never die

I sit in my chair
Im filled with despair
Theres no one could be so sad
With gloom evrywhere
I sit and I stare
I know that Ill soon go mad

In my solitude
Im praying
Dear lord above
Send back my love
