Louis Armstrong

The sky was blue and high above
Oh, the moon was new and so was love
This eager heart of mine keeps singin'
Oh lover, come back to me

You came at last, you know love had his day
That day has past, you've gone away
This eager heart of mine keeps singin', baby
Lover, please come on back to me

You know I remember every little thing you used to do
I’m so lonely
Every road I walk along, I walk along with you
No wonder I am lonely

Oh, the sky was blue and high above
[Incomprehensible] the moon was new and so was love
And while I’m waiting here
This heart of mine keeps singing

Lover, lover, lover, oh yeah

I remember every little thing you used to do
I’m so lonely
Oh, every road I walk along, I walk along with you
No, no, no, no wonder I am lonely

Oh, the sky was blue and high above
[Incomprehensible] the moon was new and so was love
And while I’m waiting here
This heart of mine keeps singing

Oh, lover, come back, oh, lover, come back
Lover, come back to me
Oh lover, come back, oh, lo-lo-lover, come back
Lover, come back to me

Louis Armstrong, known throughout his lengthy career by nicknames like “Satchmo”, “Pops” and simply “Louie”, was a trumpeter, composer, singer and occasional actor, as well as one of the most influential figures in the history of jazz.

Born and raised in New Orleans, where jazz itself is alleged to have began, Armstrong started his career in 1918, playing the cornet in brass bands and riverboats along the Mississippi River. There, he caught the attention of his future mentor, King Oliver, joining his band in Chicago, where he networked with other popular jazz musicians like Hoagy Carmichael and his first wife Lil Hardin Armstrong.

In 1924, Louie relocated to New York City playing for the Fletcher Henderson Orchestra. It was at this time he switched over from cornet to trumpet in order to blend in better with the other musicians in his section. It was also when he developed his emotional playing style, which included singing and telling tales of his life back in New Orleans.
