Ruby My Dear aka Dear Ruby





This is a beautiful ballad that was written by Thelonius Monk. Sally Swisher wrote the beautiful lyrics to this piece.



Ruby my dear
Hold back that tear
I know he’s gone
Your love has flown
Your all alone

Oh I know you cried
There’s no reply

Plainly Goes on
It doesn’t go
Cause you say so

Bridge
One day he came to you and made the music play in his way
You said you’d rather die
Than say goodbye

But there come a day
Though he’s away
You sing his song, you carry on
Ruby my dear
