Harlem Nocturne
Composer(s): Earle Hagen
Performer(s): Mel Tormé



A nocturne for the blues played on a broken heart string
It's wailing out the news my baby is gone from me
Dark shadows in the rain, a telephone that won't ring
Just memories remain 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 morning 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 inside
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
