Music In May 1936 Ivor Novello 'Careless Rapture'

Dr. Pitt-Payne in London UK - 11 Jul 2003

All the winter thro' I've sat alone
and thought of you
while lazy hours on the clock dragged by.
Ev'ry day, though long as a year
and sad as a sigh,
brought happiness near;
for soon an early spring awoke the birds
and made them sing
of all the joys that are born anew.
Winter and sorrow took wing
and my old desire began to burn,
I dreamed of your return
and found it was true.

The first music in May
sings to my heart; "Live for Today."
'Tis a sigh floating by
that whispers a warning
New rapture is dawning.
That song calls us away,
just you and I,
we must obey;
Now's our chance for romance,
Let's follow the music in May.

The first music in May
sings to my heart; "Live for Today."
'Tis a sigh floating by
that whispers a warning
New rapture is dawning.
That song calls us away,
just you and I,
we must obey;
Now's our chance for romance,
Let's follow the music in May.
