The Song Is Ended 1927 Irving Berlin

My thoughts go back
to a heavenly dance,
a moment of bliss we spent.
Our hearts were filled
with a song of romance,
as into the night we went,
and sang to our hearts content.

The song is ended
but the melody lingers on;
You and the song are gone
but the melody lingers on.
The night was splendid
and the melody seemed to say,
"Summer will pass away,
Take your happiness
while you may."
There 'neath the light of the moon,
we sang a love song
that ended too soon,
the moon descended
and I found,
with the break of dawn,
you and the song had gone,
but the melody lingers on.

The song is ended
but the melody lingers on;
You and the song are gone
but the melody lingers on.
The night was splendid
and the melody seemed to say,
"Summer will pass away,
Take your happiness
while you may."
There 'neath the light of the moon,
we sang a love song
that ended too soon,
the moon descended
and I found,
with the break of dawn,
you and the song had gone,
but the melody lingers on.

The whisp'ring breeze
in the trees up above,
the sea as it laps the shore,
Recall the melody
born of our love
The song that I still adore,
and you whom I'll see no more.

The song is ended
but the melody lingers on;
You and the song are gone
but the melody lingers on.
The night was splendid
and the melody seemed to say,
"Summer will pass away,
Take your happiness
while you may."
There 'neath the light of the moon,
we sang a love song
that ended too soon,
the moon descended
and I found,
with the break of dawn,
you and the song had gone,
but the melody lingers on.

The song is ended
but the melody lingers on;
You and the song are gone
but the melody lingers on.
The night was splendid
and the melody seemed to say,
"Summer will pass away,
Take your happiness
while you may."
There 'neath the light of the moon,
we sang a love song
that ended too soon,
the moon descended
and I found,
with the break of dawn,
you and the song had gone,
but the melody lingers on.
