Thomas "Fats" Waller 7 his Rhythm '37


Where is the sun, oh clouds above me?
Where are the birds that used to sing?
Everything's wrong, oh where is their song of love?
Where is the one who said he loved me?
Gone, like the flowers he used to bring!
Can it be true there's somebody new to love?

Listen, my heart,
Don't feel so bad,
Think of the kisses we knew!
You know, my heart,
The moments we had,
Maybe he misses them too!

Where is the sun, oh clouds above me?
Don't take the dreams to which I cling!
Where is the sun, oh where is the one I love?

Listen, my heart,
Don't feel so bad,
Think of the kisses we knew!
You know, my heart,
The moments we had,
Maybe he misses them too!

Where is the sun, oh clouds above me?
Don't take the dreams to which I cling!
Where is the sun, oh where is the one I love?
