Duke Ellington ~


Ev'ry night in dream I hold you close in my arms,
Your dream caress brings happiness,
How I fear the break of day that takes you away,
Hear my plea, come to me, I'm lonely.
Come out of my dream, come into my arms,
For I'm so in love with you,
You're with me till dawn,
But then you are gone,
I'm lonely the whole day thru,
Each night I pray that with the sunrise,
I'll find I'm looking into your eyes,
Come out of my dreams, come into my arms,
For I'm so in love with you.
Come out of my dream, come into my arms,
For I'm so in love with you,
You're with me till dawn,
But then you are gone,
I'm lonely the whole day thru,
Each night I pray that with the sunrise,
I'll find I'm looking into your eyes,
Come out of my dreams, come into my arms,
For I'm so in love with you.

Though I am different from you,
We were born involved in one another.

For it was not into my ear you whispered, but into my heart. It was not my lips you kissed, but my soul.

Complete surrender should not just come at moments in which one faces overwhelming odds, but in the calm when it seems one is personally in complete control of one's life.
