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
