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 simphony 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.
