The Breeze And I The Breeze and I
— words by Al Stillman, music by Ernesto Lecuona
— music written in 1929 as a piano piece called «Andaluza», part of the Andalucia Suite by the Cuban composer Ernesto Lecuona
— words added later by Al Stillman
The breeze and I are saying with a sigh
That you no longer care
The breeze and I are whispering goodbye
To dreams we used to share
Ours was a love song that seemed constant as the moon
Ending in a strange, mournful tune
And all about me, they know you have departed without me And we wonder why, the breeze and I The breeze and I
