Skylark
1941
Johnny Mercer (w)
Hoagy Carmichael (m)
Blues In The Night, 1941
Skylark
Have you anything to say to me?
Won't you tell me where my love can be?
Is there a meadow in the mist
Where someone's waiting to be kissed?
Skylark,
Have you seen a valley green with spring
Where my heart can go a-journeying
Over the shawdows and the rain
To a blossom-covered lane?
And in your lonely flight,
Haven't you heard the music in the night?
Wonderful music,
Faint as a will-o'-the-wisp,
Crazy as a loon,
Sad as a Gypsy serenading the moon!
Oh Skylark,
I don't know if you can find these things,
But my heart is riding on your wings,
So, if you see them anywhere,
Won't you lead me there?
