The Precious Hours

Solitude can bring
Solitude can bring
But no hearts and flowers
Your lilting melodies
To help me ease the pain
Precious hours
Tonight

Tonight I mustn't think of him
Music, maestro, Please!
Tonight, tonight I must forget
Those precious hours
But no hearts and flowers
Play your lilting melodies
Ragtime, jazz and swing
Any old thing
To help me ease the pain
That solitude can bring

Tonight I mustn’t think of him
Music, maestro, Please!
Tonight, tonight I must forget
Those precious hours
But no hearts and flowers
Play your lilting melodies
Ragtime, jazz and swing
Any old thing
To help me ease the pain
That solitude can bring

Tonight I mustn't think of him
Music, maestro, Please!

Play your lilting melodies
Ragtime, jazz and swing
Precious hours

Your lilting melodies
Ragtime, jazz and swing
