Lover Man (D. Ellington with Marion Cox) Songtext
von Duke Ellington

I don′t know why, but I'm feeling so sad
I seem to long something I never had
I′ve been hardly kissing
Oh, what we've been missing
Lover man, oh, where can you be?

The night is cold and I'm so all alone
I′d give my soul just to call you my own
Got a moon above me
But no one to love me
Lover man, oh, where can you be?

I′ve heard it said
That the thrill of romance
Can be like a heavenly dream
I go to bed with a prayer
That you'll make love to me
Strange as it seems


Someday we′ll meet
And you'll dry all my tears
And whisper sweet little things in my ears
Like hugging and kissing
Oh, what we′ve been missing
Lover man, where can you be?

I've heard it said
That the thrill of romance
Can be like a heavenly dream
I go to bed with a prayer
That you′ll make love to me
Strange as it seems

Someday we'll meet
And you'll dry all my tears
Then whisper sweet little things in my ears
Hugging and kissing
Oh, what we′ve been missing
Lover man, oh, where can you be?
Lover man, oh, where can you be?
