My Little Brown Book Lyrics by Duke Ellington
Album : 1942-44
Clean Lyric
Paragraph Lyric
My little brown book
With the silver binding
How it keeps reminding me
Of a memory
That's haunting me.
In some quiet nook
I go thru its pages
And peruse this ageless tale
Of a love that failed
To ever become true.
On this page is the date
Of that fateful night at eight
When I found you were no longer in love.
After that there's nothing more
Just a dark and futile door
That shuts out the stars above.
In my little book
I inscribed your heart vow
But since we're apart now
This and that last sweet kiss
Is all that's left of you
Is all that's left of you.
My little brown book   With the silver binding   How it keeps reminding me   Of a memory   That's haunting me.   In some quiet nook   I go thru its pages   And peruse this ageless tale   Of a love that failed   To ever become true.   On this page is the date   Of that fateful night at eight   When I found you were no longer in love.   After that there's nothing more   Just a dark and futile door   That shuts out the stars above.   In my little book   I inscribed your heart vow   But since we're apart now   This and that last sweet kiss   Is all that's left of you   Is all that's left of you.
