Lyrics Where Are the Songs We Sung? - Noël Coward

Where Are the Songs We Sung?

Where are the songs we sung
When love in our hearts was young?
Where, in the limbo of the swiftly passing years
Lie all our hopes and dreams and fears?
Where have they gone, words that rang so true
When love in our hearts was new?
Where, in the shadows that we have to pass among
Lie those songs that once we sung?
Once in a lifetime when we are very, very young
And love comes out to greet us for the first time
We open wide our arms and say to him
«This is the only and the last time!»
That young surrender
We can remember when some little tune
Recalls our hearts to vanished splendour
Like organ music in a sunny street
So sweetly flat, so sadly tender
And so when love again rides by
We sometimes sigh
Where are the songs we sung
When love in our hearts was young?
Can you remember all the foolish things we said
The plans we planned, the tears we shed?
Where is it now, that enchanted dawn
When love in our hearts was born?
Where, in the shadows that we have to pass among
Lie those songs that once we sung?
