The Song Without a Name

Last night there came to me a melody of mystery

In all my loneliness, unhappiness, it came

So sweet and tenderly, so wistfully it spoke to me

I tried to find words to express it, but in vain

What was this song that brightened up my day?

What could it be? And then I heard it say

I'm called the song without a name

Where I belong, I can't explain

I speak of laughter, I speak of tears

And of hereafter and faded years

In wooded glen and moonlit stream

I sing again another's dream

You'll find my voice everywhere

Soothing all hearts in pain

I'm melody, the song without a name
