Serenade In The Night - 1935

Dr. Pitt-Payne in London UK - 22 Sept 2001

There's a melody that plays
upon my heart strings,
when the splendour of
the setting sun is fading,
from the hill I hear
a lover serenading
and tonight it comes astealing once again.
Just a melody that comes
but to remind me,
that one night I sang a love song
all in vain.

Serenade in the night,
'neath a fair lady's window,
just the same serenade
that I tenderly played
on a night long ago,
there were stars in the sky,
and I sang 'neath the roses,
but she gave not a sign
that she'd ever be mine,
and my love story closes.
Oh! Why must the south wind be bringing it?
Oh! Why must my heart keep on singing it?
Serenade in the night
from the past comes to haunt me,
when I hear that refrain,
oh, my heart aches again
for that lost love of mine.

Serenade in the night,
'neath a fair lady's window,
just the same serenade
that I tenderly played
on a night long ago,
there were stars in the sky,
and I sang 'neath the roses,
but she gave not a sign
that she'd ever be mine,
and my love story closes.
Oh! Why must the south wind be bringing it?
Oh! Why must my heart keep on singing it?
Serenade in the night
from the past comes to haunt me,
when I hear that refrain,
oh, my heart aches again
for that lost love of mine.
