Full Lyrics
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.
But the melody lingers on,
You and the song are gone,
But the melody lingers on.
But 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
It 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...
But the melody lingers on.
