Dream A Little Dream Of Me - Louis Armstrong


THE BLACKNESS OF MY BLACKNESS
The blackness of my blackness
I am black, blue, orange
I am all of the colors in one,
and the blackness of my blackness.

When the sky is black,
so am I.
And the blackness of my blackness
takes over who I am.
It is less of me, but more of me.
I can’t seem to understand who I ought to be.

It is the blackness of my blackness
that makes me who I am.
Although it takes away the colors and the brightness,
It brings the sorrow and the sadness.
