I Play The Black Notes 1943

The moon is high,
the hour is late,
a bird is singing to its mate,
and that's how nature wanted it to be.
Since you're away dear something's wrong,
I try to play your fav'rite song,
I can't sweetheart
unless you're here with me.

I play the black notes
when you are away
they tell so much dear
that I couldn't say.
My fingers only seem
to find the notes
I feel in my heart,
when you're apart from me;
I play in a minor key.
I sing the blue notes
and oh, how I miss
the touch of your hand dear
the thrill of your kiss,
I want to hold you
in my arms again
and never let you go,
I'm yours completely
I love you so
that's why I'm counting
ev'ry minute, ev'ry hour, ev'ry day.
I play the black notes
when you're away.

I play the black notes
when you are away
they tell so much dear
that I couldn't say.
My fingers only seem
to find the notes
I feel in my heart,
when you're apart from me;
I play in a minor key.
I sing the blue notes
and oh, how I miss
the touch of your hand dear
the thrill of your kiss,
I want to hold you
in my arms again
and never let you go,
I'm yours completely
I love you so
that's why I'm counting
ev'ry minute, ev'ry hour, ev'ry day.
I play the black notes
when you're away.
