DO NOTHING TILL YOU HEAR FROM ME
DUKE ELLINGTON
(edward "duke" ellington, bob russell)
Do nothing till you hear from me,
Pay no attention to what's said.
Why people tear the seams of anyone's dreams
Is over my head.
Do nothing till you hear from me,
At least consider our romance.
If you should take the words of others you've heard,
I haven't a chance.
True, i've been seen with someone new,
But does that mean that i've been untrue?
When we're apart,
The words in my heart
Reveal how i feel about you.
Some kiss may cloud my memories,
And other arms may hold a thrill,
But please, do nothing till you hear it from me--
And you never will.
