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
And if you hear a song that grows
From my tender sentimental woes
That was my heart trying to compose
My prelude to a kiss
Though it's just a simple melody
With nothing fancy
Nothing much
You could turn it to a symphony
A shubert 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
My prelude to a kiss
I never cared much for moonlit skies
I never wink back at fireflies
But now that the stars are in your eyes
I'm beginning to see the light
I never went in for afterglow
Or candlelight on the mistletoe
But now when you turn the lamp down low
I'm beginning to see the light
I used to ramble through the park
Shadowboxing in the dark
Then you came and caused a spark
That's a four alarm fire now
I never made love by lantern shine
I never saw rainbows in my wine
But now that your lips are burning mine
I'm beginning to see the light
I used to ramble through the park
Shadowboxing in the dark
Then you came and caused a spark
That's a four alarm fire now
I never made love by lantern shine
I never saw rainbows in my wine
But now that your lips are burning mine
I'm beginning to see the light
I used to ramble through the park
Shadowboxing in the dark
I'm beginning to see the light
