|
Many years |
|
I've lived alone |
|
A life of solitude |
|
Since my love did leave this life |
|
My joys have been but few |
|
In my sleep she sang to me |
|
Like summer's windy breath |
|
No sooner had she warmed my heart |
|
Than had she left my bed |
|
Had she left my bed |
|
CHORUS: Won't you sing to me the perfect song |
|
That I might smile again |
|
Won't you sing to me the perfect song |
|
That I might smile... smile again |
|
The melody enchanted me |
|
With words |
|
I can't describe |
|
It danced around the room until |
|
It vanished in the night |
|
The lyrics spoke of beauty |
|
Only gods and angels know |
|
She touched me on the cheek |
|
With gentle hands like flakes of snow |
|
Some day soon we'll meet again |
|
If it's in a dream |
|
I'll never wake |
|
So it won't end |
|
We'll live in my head and the echo of your song won't go |
|
Quietly it holds me here |
|
By my window |
|
I wait How long will it take? |
