[Verse]
I was young and carefree
Not a song had found my soul
Lost in blues, jazz and ragtime
No sound had got to my mood
I was searching for my melody
Love blues that gets me wooed
[Pre-Chorus]
All alone
Sad clown with his circus closed down
Lost on my merry-go-round
Came a melody
In my heart so yearning
Taught me to hear music out of love
[Chorus]
From the soul
For this life
We all live
Infinite
With the lover and beloved
As one Ellington sound of love
[Piano Solo]
[Pre-Chorus]
All alone
Sad clown with his circus closed down
Lost on my merry-go-round
Came a melody
In my heart so yearning
Taught me to hear music out of love
[Chorus]
From the soul
For this lifе
We all live
Infinite
With thе lover and beloved
As one Ellington sound of love
Duke Ellington’s Sound of Love was written by Charles Mingus.
