It's Tommy Mercer time now As the Anthony balladeer does his baritone best With the lyrics of an oldie by Duke Ellington According to Tommy, "I Let a Song Go Out of My Heart" I let a song go out of my heart It was the sweetest melody I know I lost heaven 'cause you were the song Since you and I have drifted apart Life doesn't mean a thing to me Please come back, sweet music, I know I was wrong Am I too late to make amends? You know that we were meant to be More than just friends, just friends I let a song go out of my heart Believe me, darlin', when I say I won't know sweet music until you return some day
