The Song Is You (12-30-52) - Charlie Parker

A beautiful theme of every dream I ever knew

Down deep in my heart I hear it play

I can feel it start, then it melts away

I hear music when I touch your hand

A beautiful melody from some enchanted land

Down deep in my heart, I hear it say

Is this the day?

I alone have heard this lovely strain

I alone have heard this glad refrain

Must it be forever inside of me?

Why can’t I let it go?

Why can’t I let you know?

Why can’t I let you know the song my heart would sing?

Beautiful rhapsody of love and youth and spring

The music is sweet, and the words are true

The song is you

(instrumental)

Why can’t I let you know the song my heart would sing?

That beautiful rhapsody of love and youth and spring

The music is sweet, and the words are true

The song is you
