(A lone voice whispers)
There once was someone so special
A warrior queen
Who held my heart in her hands
My own goddess and red devil
The most beautiful woman I've ever seen
Oh, we loved slow dancing through words and intimate prose
Like it was the last song of the night
Played by the Duke Ellington big band
In our favourite bar
Where everybody goes
Oh how nostalgia haunts you
Stalks you
And tears you apart
When their gone
And all you're left with
Are those sweet beloved memories
Of big bands
And soft hands
Goddesses and red devils
Of someone
So special
Who no longer holds your heart
In their hands
For they've been called home
By the Great Primaeval
To listen to new sounds
Played by Heavens big bands
