Harlem Nocturne Lyrics by Ernestine Anderson

1960

[Verse 1]
Deep music fills the night
Deep in the heart of Harlem
And though the stars are bright
The darkness is taunting me
[Verse 2]
Oh what a sad refrain
A nocturne born in Harlem
That melancholy strain
Forever is haunting me
[Bridge]
The melody clings
Around my heart strings
It won't let me go when I'm lonely
I hear it in dreams
And somehow it seems
It makes me weep
And I can't sleep
An indigo tune
It sings to the moon
The lonesome refrain of a lover
The melody sighs
It laughs and it cries
A moan in blue that wails the long night through
[Verse 3]
Then with the dawn it's gonе
The melody lives еver
For lonely hearts to learn
Of love in a Harlem nocturne
