The Song Is Ended (But the Melody Lingers On)

The song has 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 are gone, but the melody lingers on

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 are gone but the melody lingers on
