Soon 1929 Gershwin 'Strike Up The Band'

by James Pitt-Payne, London UK - 28 Jan 2005

[He:] I'm making up
for all the years that I waited,
I'm compensated at last.
My heart is through with shirking,
thanks to you it's working fast.
The many lonely nights and days
when this duffer
just had to suffer, are past.
[She:] Life will be a dream song,
love will be the theme song.

[He:] Soon, the lonely nights will be ended,
soon, two hearts as one will be blended.
I've found the happiness I've waited for;
the only girl that I was fated for.
Oh soon a little cottage will find us
safe with all our cares far behind us;
the day you're mine this world will be in tune,
let's make that day come soon.

[She:] Soon, my dear, you'll never be lonely,
soon, you'll find I live for you only.
When I'm with you who cares what time it is,
or what the place or what the climate is?
Oh soon our little ship will come sailing home
through ev'ry storm, never failing;
the day you're mine this world will be in tune,
let's make that day come soon.
