Why should it be my loneliness,
Why should it be my song,
Why should it be my dream
deferred overlong?

Why should it be my loneliness,
Why should it be my song,
Why should it be my dream
deferred overlong?
The night is beautiful, so are the faces of my people.
They'll see how beautiful I am
And be ashamed —
I, too, am America.
I got the weary blues and I can't be satisfied.
I stuck my head out the window this morning and spring kissed me bang in the face.
