The Breeze and I
Caterina Valente (#8)
- 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
