Twilight falls, night birds call, moonflowers fill the air 

She appears, so sublime, Gardenia in her hair 

Takes the stage in the night, to sing the blues away 

When the light of the dawn seems far away 

Each intoxicating phrase, brightens up the darkest days 

Hush now, Don’t Explain 

Each bittersweet refrain, a song of love’s sweet pain 

Moondust falls in the night, to chase the blues away 

Lester Young heard her sing, and named her Lady Day 

Touched the hearts and the souls, of all who heard her sing 

Unsurpassed in the joy that she could bring 

Each intoxicating phrase, brightens up the darkest days 

Songs of joy and pain, each bittersweet refrain 

Passion of a heart untamed 

Moondust falls in the night, to chase the blues away 

Lester Young heard her sing, and named her Lady Day 

Touched the hearts and the souls, of all who heard her sing 

Unsurpassed in the joy that she could bring
