Duke Ellington - In a sentimental mood
Tekst :
In a sentimental mood
I can see the stars come through my room
While your loving attitude
Is like a flame that lights the gloom
On the wings of every kiss
Drifts a melody so strange and sweet
In this sentimental bliss
You make my paradise complete
Rose petals seem to fall
It s all I could dream to call you mine
My heart s a lighter thing
Since you made this night a thing divine
In a sentimental mood
I m within a world so heavenly
For I never dreamt that you d be loving sentimental me
Duke Ellington - Drop me off in harlem
Tekst :
Drop me off in Harlem,
any place in Harlem,
There s someone waiting there
who makes it seem like
Heaven up in Harlem.
I don t want your Dixie,
you can keep your Dixie,
there s no one down in Dixie who can take me
way from my hot Harlem,
Harlem has those southern skies,
they re in my baby s smile, I
idolize my baby s eyes and
classy up-town style,
If Harlem moved to China,
I know of nothing finer,
Than to stow away on a plane some day and have them
drop me off in Harlem.

Than to stow away on a plane some day and have them
drop me off in Harlem.
If Harlem moved to China
I know nothing finer than to be in Harlem
Duke Ellington - Solitude
Tekst :
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 ev rywhere
I sit and I stare
I know that I ll soon go mad
In my solitude
I m praying
Dear Lord above
Send back my love
Alternative 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
I m filled with despair
There s no one could be so sad
With gloom ev rywhere
I sit and I stare
I know that I ll soon go mad
In my solitude
I m praying
Dear Lord above
Send back my love
