Kurt Elling - The Messenger

Prelude To A Kiss

If you hear a song in blue
Like a flower crying for the dew
That was my heart serenading you
A prelude to a kiss

If you hear a song that grows
From my tender sentimental woes
That was my heart trying to compose
A prelude to a kiss

Though it's just a simple melody
With nothing fancy
Nothing much
You could turn it to a symphony
In a Schubert tune, with a Gershwin touch

Oh, how my love song gently cries
For the tenderness within your eyes
My love is a prelude that never dies
A prelude to a kiss...
