All Too Soon

Carl Sigman / Duke Ellington

All too soon We had to part
The moment you had touched my heart
And with you went my dream

All too soon
All too sweet Was our affair
And you put all the sweetness there
What a shame that it's gone

I knew the strange delights
That only you in love could bring
And as I reached the heights
The bottom fell from everything

You should know as well as I
Our love deserves another try
For you whispered goodbye
All too soon Too soon

All Too Soon

All Too Soon

1940年エリントンによってインストゥロメンタル・ナンバーとして作曲され、その後カール・スイグマンが歌詞をつけている。個人的にはGeorge Shearingと共演しているPeggy Leeが一押しです。

Beauty and the Beat!
