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
