Written by: Duke Ellington, Irving Gordon and Irving Mills. First recoreded in 1938 by Ellington and his Orchestra featuring Johnny Hodges. From the “Prelude to a Kiss“ soundtrack (1992) If you hear a song in blue like a flower crying for the dew That was my heart serenading you my prelude to a kiss If you hear a song that grows from my tender sentimental woes That was my heart trying to compose a prelude to a kiss Though it's just a simple melody with nothing fancy Nothing much you could turn it to a symphony A Schubert tune with a Gershwin touch Oh how my love song gently cries for the tenderness within your eyes My love is a prelude that never dies A prelude to a kiss Oh how my love song gently cries for the tenderness within your eyes My love is a prelude that never dies A prelude to a kiss
