Lew Stone & His Band



Tonight I mustn't think of her
Music, maestro, please!
Tonight, tonight I must forget
How much I need her

So, Mister Leader
Play your lilting melodies
Ragtime, jazz-time, swing
Any old thing
To help me ease the pain
That solitude can bring

She used to like waltzes
So please don't play a waltz
She danced divinely
And I loved her so
But there I go

Tonight I mustn't think of her
No more memories
Swing out
Tonight I must forget
Music, maestro, please!


Swing out
Tonight I must forget
Music, maestro, please!
