Amor - Duke Ellington

Amor, amor, amor

This word so sweet, that I repeat, means I adore you

Amor, amor, my love

Would you deny this heart that I have placed before you

I can’t find another word with meaning so clear

My lips try to whisper sweeter things in your ear

But somehow or other nothing sounds quite so dear

As this soft caressing word I know

Amor, amor, my love

When you’re away there is no day and nights are lonely

Amor, amor, my love

Make life divine, say you’ll be mine and love me only

I can’t find another word with meaning so clear

My lips try to whisper sweeter things in your ear

But somehow or other nothing sounds quite so dear

As this soft caressing word I know

Amor, amor, amor
