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
There 'neath the light of the moon
We sang a love song that ended not too soon
The moon descended
And I found with the break of dawn
You and the song had gone
But the melody lingers on
