Azalea Lyrics - Duke Ellington

It was such a fine spring day 

down Lou'siana way, 

with fragrance divine 

and such magnificent regalia. 

Oh, so fine, 

Azalea. 

Oh what a lovely sight, 

in red, pink and white. 

Can't held but believe 

that nothing evil can assail you. 

So naïve, 

Azalea 

You're at ease on the knees 

of the moss covered trees, 

whose tops meet to make a high ceiling 

in the church-like pomp 

of the cypress swamp. 

I've yet to get that same strange feeling.

I've got to go back there 

and find that blossom fair 

I always dream of. 

'Cause with you who could be a failure? 

My first love, 

Azalea 

I've got to go back there 

and find that blossom fair 

I always dream of. 

'Cause with you who could be a failure? 

My first love (scat) 

My first love (scat) 

Azalea
