Driftin' Dreamin'

In an Azure mood,

Stardust gleamin'

Thru my solitude:

Here in my seclusion,

You're a blue illusion

While I'm in this Azure interlude.

I'm not wanted I'm so all alone;

Always haunted

By the dreams I own;

But, though Im tormented

I must be contented

Driftin' Dreamin'

In an Azure mood!

Driftin' Dreamin'

In an Azure mood,

Star dust gleamin'

Thru my solitude:

Here in my seclusion,

You're a blue illusion

While I'm in this Azure interlude!
