Ugly Beauty (Still We Dream)

from Trying Times by Deelee Dubé

/

about

'Ugly Beauty' is an instrumental jazz composition by pianist Thelonious Monk. It was first recorded by him in December 1967 and released on his 1968 album 'Underground'. It was the only waltz he ever wrote.

Lyrics were added much later by Mike Ferro as 'Still We Dream' and recorded by Carmen McRae for her studio album 'Carmen Sings Monk' released in 1990.

lyrics

You and I, I think we know the reason why
So far its been quite charming
What's in store, it seems we played this scene before
Which makes it less alarming

Dim the light and let's go on pretending
that this time it's real

So round and round, the carousel is winding down
and still we dream of love
We dream of love, we dream of love
