The Deborah Harry song catalog you find on this page was compiled by me, the webmaster, with the help of my personal record collection, booklets, biographies, setlists, ASCAP, the LoC (Library of Congress), articles and (live) bootlegs. It's my goal to create a page which features Deborah's complete musical body of work, no matter if Deborah was in any way musically involved herself or whether she contributed her own lyrics to a project. In order to keep up the standard of this page and to make it grow you can help by submitting song titles and/or information which are missing on this site. Every contribution is greatly appreciated. Official song lyrics were taken from booklets. I transcribed those songs myself where no official lyrics were available (with no guarantee for their accuracy). I apologize for possible errors and will gladly take corrections. I kindly ask you not to copy any of these lyrics from this page.
All song pages include links to the albums, singles and/or live albums which they were released on. Best Ofs and soundtracks were only listed if there is a special mix available on the record or the song title itself was previously unreleased.

PRELUDE TO A KISS

If you hear a song in blue like a flower crying for the dew
That was my heart serenading you my prelude to a kiss

If you hear a song that grows from my tender sentimental woes
That was my heart trying to compose a prelude to a kiss

Though it's just a simple melody with nothing fancy
Nothing much you could turn it to a symphony
A Schubert tune with a Gershwin touch

Oh how my love song gently cries for the tenderness within your eyes
My love is a prelude that never dies
A prelude to a kiss

Oh how my love song gently cries for the tenderness within your eyes
My love is a prelude that never dies
A prelude to a kiss
