Here Lies Love 1932

Night winds cold and melancholy
wail a blue finale
for my tragedy
like a miserere
meant for only me.
While I linger
weary 'neath a willow tree,
right here our romance was started
here again we parted
when I set you free
all my thoughts are jumbled
ev'rything is blurred,
all the world has crumbled
shattered by a word.

The end has come
my heart is numb
'twas like a bolt
from the blue above,
I can't believe it
but you are gone, darling,
and here lies love.
The sky is dark
I hear a lark,
he sounds as sad
as a mournful dove,
the dew appears
like the tears of dawn,
darling, for here lies love.
All my dreams
lost beyond recall,
dreams of Spring,
blasted in the Fall,
you gave lips,
you gave arms,
I gave all!
I ought to cry
my eyes are dry,
there's only one thing
I'm conscious of,
I only know
that I can't go on, darling,
for here lies Love.

for here lies Love.
