Melancholy Mood

Melancholy Mood - Harry James

Written by：V. Knight/W. Schumann

Melancholy mood forever haunts me

Steals upon me in the night forever taunts me

Oh what a lonely soul am I stranded high and dry

By a melancholy mood

Gone is every joy and inspiration

Tears are all I have to show no consolation

All I can see is grief and gloom till the crack of doom

Oh melancholy mood

Deep in the night I search for a trace

Of a lingering kiss

But love is a whimsy as flimsy as lace

And my arms embrace an empty space

Melancholy mood why must you blind me

Pity me and break the chains the chains that bind me

Won't you release me set me free bring him back to me

Oh melancholy mood
