MELHORES MÚSICAS / MAIS TOCADAS
duke ellington - all too soon
All too soon
We had to part
The moment you had touched my heart
And with you went my dream
All too soon
All too sweet
Was our affair
And you put all the sweetness there
What a shame that it's gone
All too soon
I knew the strange delights
That only you in love could bring
And as I reached the heights
The bottom fell from everything
You should know as well as I
Our love deserves another try
For we whispered goodbye
All too soon
Too soon
duke ellington - azure
Drifting, dreaming
In an azure mood
Stardust gleaming
Through my solitude
Here in my seclusion
You're a blue illusion
While I'm in this azure interlude
I'm not wanted
I'm so all alone
Always haunted
By the dreams I own
But though I'm tormented
I must be contented
Drifting, dreaming
In an azure mood
Drifting, dreaming
In an azure mood
Drifting, dreaming
In an azure mood
duke ellington - bli-blip
My love to you I bring
On account of you can sing
Bli-Blip, Bobby, Flam, Flam, Flam, Hit the yaddle oddle bayou
My love for you is true
On account of you can do
Bli-Blip, Bobby, Flam, Flam, Flam, Hit the yaddle oddle bayou
My poor heart, gives a start
Like a jitterbug, just won't stop
Mix your crooning, with my spooning
And let me blow my top, mop!
Your love to me I've sworn
On account of mine is y'orn
Bli-Blip, Bobby, Flam, Flam, Flam, Hit the yaddle oddle bayou
(scat interlude)
My poor heart, gives a start
Like a jitterbug, just won't stop
So mix your crooning, with my spooning
And let me blow my top, mop!
Your love to me I've sworn
On account of mine is y'orn
Bli-Blip, Bobby, Flam, Flam, Flam, Hit the yaddle oddle bayou
duke ellington - caravan
Night and stars above that shine so bright
The mystery of their fading light
That shines upon our Caravan
Sleep upon my shoulder as we creep
Across the sands so I may keep
The memory of our Caravan
This is so exciting, you are so inviting
Resting in my arms
Thrill to the magic, the magic of your charms
You beside me here beneath the blue
My dream of love is coming true
Within our desert Caravan
This is so exciting, you are so inviting
Resting in my arms
Thrill to the magic, the magic of your charms
Night and stars above that shine so bright
The mystery of their fading light
That shines upon our Caravan
That shines upon our Caravan
Oooh
duke ellington - day dream
Daydream, why do you haunt me so
Deep in a rosy glow
The face of my love you show
Daydream, I walk along on air
Building a castle there
For me and my love to share
Don't know the time, lordy
I'm in a daze
Sun in the sky, while I moon around, feeling, hazy
Daydream, don't break my reverie
Until I find that he,
Is daydreaming just like me
Daydreams, why do you haunt me so
While I'm in this rosy glow
Bring back my love
Bring back my love
Bring back my love
To me
duke ellington - don't get around much anymore
Missed the Saturday dance
Heard they crowded the floor
Couldn't bear it without you
Don't get around much anymore
Thought I'd visit the club
Got as far as the door
They'd have asked me about you
Don't get around much anymore
Oh, darling I guess
My mind's more at ease
But nevertheless
Why stir up memories?
Been invited on dates
Might have gone, but what for?
It's awfully different without you
Don't get around much anymore
duke ellington - drop me off in harlem
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.

duke ellington - everything but you
You left me a horse from Texas,
A house with installments due,
A letter with lots of X-S
Everything but you.
You left me some beans from Boston,
A bicycle built for two,
A memory to get lost in,
Everything but you.
Each day was so gay and so daring,
I loved every breathtaking minute,
for how could I know I was sharing
a kiss without a future in it.
You left me a dream to room with,
A coffee pot from Peru,
A knife and fork to spoon with,
Everything but you.

duke ellington - great times

duke ellington - i didn't know about you
I ran around, with my own little crowd
The usual laughs, not often, but loud
And in the world that I knew
I didn't know about you
Chasing after the ring, on the merry-go-round
Just taking my fun, where it could be found
And yet what else could I do
I didn't know about you
Darling, now I know
I had the loneliest yesterday, everyday
In your arms
I know for once in my life, I'm living
Had a good time, everytime I went out
Romance was a thing, I kidded about
How could I know about love
I didn't know about you
Darling, now I know
I had the loneliest yesterday, everyday
In your arms
I know for once in my life, I'm living
Had a good time, everytime I went out
Romance was a thing, I kidded about
How could I know about love
I didn't know about you
I didn't know about you
duke ellington - i got it bad
Never treats me sweet and gentle
The way he should
'Cause I got it bad, and that ain't good
My poor heart is sentimental
Not made of wood
I got it bad, and that ain't good
But when the weekend's over
And Monday rolls around
My man and me,
we pray some,
we gin some
and sin some
He don't love me
Like I love him
Nobody could
I got it bad, and that ain't good
Now folks with good intentions
Tell me to save my tears
I'm glad I'm mad about him
I can't live without him
Lord above me,
Make him love me
The way he should
Like a lonesome weeping willow
lost in the wood
The way I hug my pillow
No woman should
Because I got it bad, and that ain't good
duke ellington - i let a song go out of my heart
I let a song go out of my heart
It was the sweetest melody
I know I lost heaven 'cause you were the song
Since you and I have drifted apart
Life doesn't mean a thing to me
Please come back, sweet music, I know I was wrong
Am I too late to make amends?
You know that we were meant to be more than just friends, just friends
I let a song go out of my heart
Believe me, darlin', when I say
I won't know sweet music until you return some day
I let a song go out of my heart
Believe me, darlin', when I say
I won't know sweet music until you return some day
duke ellington - i'm beginning to see the light
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
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
duke ellington - i'm just a lucky so and so
As I walk down the street
seems everyone I meet
gives me a friendly hello.
I guess I'm just a lucky so and so
The birds in every tree
are all so neighborly.
They sing wherever I go.
I guess I'm just a lucky so and so
If you should ask me the amount
in my bank account
I'd have to confess that I'm slippin'
but that don't worry me, confidentially
I've got a dream that's a pippin'
and when the day is through
Each night I hurry to
a home where love waits, I know.
I guess I'm just a lucky so and so
and when the day is through
Each night I hurry to
a home where love waits, I know.
I guess I'm just a lucky so and so
I'm just a lucky, lucky so and so
