Tonight I mustn't think of him
Music Maestro, please!

Tonight, tonight I must forget
How much I need him
So, Please Mister Leader
Play your lilting melodies
Ragtime, jazztime, swing
Any old thing
To help me ease the pain
That solitude can bring

He used to like waltzes
So please don't play a waltz
He danced divinely
And I loved him so
But there I go

Tonight I mustn't think of him
No more memories
Tonight I must forget
Music, Maestro, please!
