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
|
|

The Song Is Ended (but the Melody Lingers On)
