Almost [Sweet Music] lyrics

[Verse 1]

I came in from the outside, burned out from a joy ride

She likes to roll here in my ashes anyway

Played from the bedside is "Stella by Starlight"

That was my heart, the drums that start off "Night and Day"

[Pre-Chorus 1]

The same kind of music haunts her bedroom

I'm almost me again, she's almost you

[Chorus]

I wouldn't know where to start

Sweet music playing in the dark

Be still, my foolish heart

Don't ruin this on me

I wouldn't know where to start

Sweet music playing in the dark

Be still, my foolish heart

Don't ruin this on me

[Verse 2]

Tell me who, and I'll be thanking them

The numbered lovers of Duke Ellington

Do I owe each kiss to lip and cheek as soft as Chet can sing

Let's get lost and let the good times roll

Let smoke rings from this paper doll

Blow sweet and thick 'til every thought of it don't mean a thing

[Pre-Chorus 2]

I got some colour back, she thinks so, too

I laugh like me again, she laughs like you

[Chorus]

I wouldn't know where to start

Sweet music playing in the dark

Be still, my foolish heart

Don't ruin this on me

I wouldn't know where to start

Sweet music playing in the dark

Be still, my foolish heart

Don't ruin this on me

[Bridge]

I wouldn't know where

I wouldn't know where

I wouldn't know where, I wouldn't know where

I wouldn't, mmm

I wouldn't know where

I wouldn't know where

I wouldn't know where, I wouldn't know where

I wouldn't know

[Verse 3]

The very thought of you and am I blue?

A love supreme seems far removed

I get along without you very well some other nights

Oh, the radio news reader chimes

Reporting Russian lullabies

She'll turn to me awake and ask, "Is everything alright?"

And, Lord

[Chorus]

I wouldn't know where to start

Sweet music playing in the dark

Be still, my foolish heart

Don't ruin this on me

I wouldn't know where to start

Sweet music playing in the dark

Be still, my foolish heart

Don't ruin this on me

I wouldn't know where to start

Sweet music playing in the dark (I wouldn't know where)

Be still, my foolish heart

Don't ruin this on me

I wouldn't know where to start

Sweet music playing in the dark (I wouldn't know where)

Be still, my foolish heart

Don't ruin this on me
