| My thoughts go back to a heavenly dance
|
| A moment of bliss we spent
|
| Our hearts were filled with a song of romance
|
| As into the night we went
|
| And sang to our hearts' content
|
| The song is ended
|
| But the melody lingers on You and the song are gone
|
| But the melody lingers on The night was splendid
|
| And the melody seemed to say
|
| «Summer will pass away
|
| Take your happiness while you may»
|
| There 'neath the light of the moon
|
| We sang a love song that ended too soon
|
| The moon descended
|
| And I found with the break of dawn
|
| You and the song had gone
|
| But the melody lingers on |
