[Verse 1] I came in from the outside, burned out from a joy ride She likes to roll here in my ashes anyway Played from the bedside is "Stella by Starlight" That was my heart, the drums that start off "Night and Day" [Pre-Chorus] The same kind of music haunts her bedroom I'm almost me again, she's almost you [Chorus] I wouldn't know where to start Sweet music playing in the dark Be still, my foolish heart Don't ruin this on me I wouldn't know where to start Sweet music playing in the dark Be still, my foolish heart Don't ruin this on me [Verse 2] Tell me who and I'll be thanking them The numbered lovers of Duke Ellington Do I owe each kiss to lip and cheek As soft as Chet can sing "Let's Get Lost"? And let the good times roll Let smoke rings from this paper, doll Blow sweet and thick till every thought of it don't mean a thing [Pre-Chorus] I got some colour back, she thinks so too I laugh like me again, she laughs like you [Chorus] I wouldn't know where to start Sweet music playing in the dark Be still, my foolish heart Don't ruin this on me I wouldn't know where to start Sweet music playing in the dark Be still, my foolish heart Don't ruin this on me [Bridge] I wouldn't know where I wouldn't know where I wouldn't know where, I wouldn't know where I wouldn't, mmm I wouldn't know where I wouldn't know where I wouldn't know where, I wouldn't know where I wouldn't know [Verse 3] The very thought of you and am I blue? A love supreme seems far removed I get along without you very well some other nights Oh, the radio news reader chimes Reporting Russian lullabies She'll turn to me awake and ask, "Is everything alright?" And, Lord [Chorus] I wouldn't know where to start Sweet music playing in the dark Be still, my foolish heart Don't ruin this on me I wouldn't know where to start Sweet music playing in the dark Be still, my foolish heart Don't ruin this on me I wouldn't know where to start Sweet music playing in the dark (I wouldn't know where) Be still, my foolish heart Don't ruin this on me I wouldn't know where to start Sweet music playing in the dark (I wouldn't know where) Be still, my foolish heart Don't ruin this on me
