SADDEN HEART Sultry Serenade- Dedicated verse for Shasta Simms- Verse 1: Sadden heart, filled with blues Lost in the darkness, can't find no shoes Tears falling like rain from the sky Lonely nights, don't know why Chorus: Sadden heart sultry serenade, whispering in the night Trying to ease your pain, make everything right Let the music heal your soul Allow your heart to be renewed Let the melody take control Wh’cha gon do be free or subdued Verse 2: Sadden heart, heavy with sorrow Longing for a brighter tomorrow Nix neath the bone morrow In the silence, find your voice Let the rhythm be your choice Chorus: Sadden heart sultry serenade, whispering in the night Trying to ease your pain, make everything right Let the music heal your soul Allow your heart to be renewed Let the melody take control Wh’cha gon do be free or subdued Bridge: It’s a bit much, to be tough In a world where our feet Are delirious Close your eyes, feel the beat Let the music wash over you, so sweet Sadden heart, don't despair In this song, we'll find a prayer Chorus: Sadden heart sultry serenade, in the midnight hour Gently healing, like a springtime shower Let the notes caress your pain Sadden heart, dance in the rain Outro: Sultry serenade, guiding you through the night Sadden heart, take flight In the music, find your spark Sultry serenade, lighting up the dark 09/3/24 Written words by James Edward Lee Sr.2024© for SHASTA JAZZ DEDICATED VERSE FOR SHATA SIMMS ANTHOLOGY #1
