My Song Goes Round The World 1933

James Pitt-Payne, London UK - 12 Apr 2004

I sing a song the whole day long,
just one song that's in my mind;
It's melody is haunting me
ev'ry night and day I find.
It echoes deep within the heart of ev'ry lover,
among the high folk
among the low
this tender love song
it wanders far
it lingers near
saying: "I love you, dear."

My song goes round the world,
that song I made for you.
Singing your charms to stars above you,
telling the world how much I love you;
'twas you inspired my song,
when love first came to stay.
To ev'ry heart appealing,
my love refrain comes stealing,
my song will live
tho' all things may pass away.

My song goes round the world,
that song I made for you.
Singing your charms to stars above you,
telling the world how much I love you;
'twas you inspired my song,
when love first came to stay.
To ev'ry heart appealing,
my love refrain comes stealing,
my song will live
tho' all things may pass away.

What can it be, this melody?
Only those in love may know.
Old as the hills,
yet still it thrills,
setting ev'ry heart aglow.
To other lovers in the lonely distant places,
it brings a message with each refrain,
that softly whispers...
While two hearts yearn,
it will return homeward to us again.

My song goes round the world,
that song I made for you.
Singing your charms to stars above you,
telling the world how much I love you;
'twas you inspired my song,
when love first came to stay.
To ev'ry heart appealing,
my love refrain comes stealing,
my song will live
tho' all things may pass away.

My song goes round the world,
that song I made for you.
Singing your charms to stars above you,
telling the world how much I love you;
'twas you inspired my song,
when love first came to stay.
To ev'ry heart appealing,
my love refrain comes stealing,
my song will live
tho' all things may pass away.
