Was it only a fairy tale
Just a dream that fades with the dawn?
Like the song of a nightingale
Our romance is over and gone
Still the embers of love will be
Glowing deep in my memory
Tho' you go on a long, long trail
Let our parting kiss linger on

Take me in your arms
Before you take your love away
Take me in your arms
Before we part
Let me thrill again
To your caress of yesterday
Let me fill again my hungry heart
One hour of gladness
That we knew in the past
One moment's madness
Although it be the last
Hold me fast
Blind me with your charms
With all the stardust in the sky
Take me in your arms
And then goodbye

Take me in your arms
Before you take your love away
Take me in your arms
Before we part
Let me thrill again
To your caress of yesterday
Let me fill again my hungry heart
One hour of gladness
That we knew in the past
One moment's madness
Although it be the last
Hold me fast
Blind me with your charms
With all the stardust in the sky
Take me in your arms
And then goodbye

Days are empty and nights are long
When the one you love goes away
You may dance in a merry throng
But your smiles are not very gay
In your soul there's a wound you feel
That no music can ever heal
What is laughter and what is song
To someone whose lips have to say

Take me in your arms
Before you take your love away
Take me in your arms
Before we part
Let me thrill again
To your caress of yesterday
Let me fill again my hungry heart
One hour of gladness
That we knew in the past
One moment's madness
Although it be the last
Hold me fast
Blind me with your charms
With all the stardust in the sky
Take me in your arms
And then goodbye

Take me in your arms
Before you take your love away
Take me in your arms
Before we part
Let me thrill again
To your caress of yesterday
Let me fill again my hungry heart
One hour of gladness
That we knew in the past
One moment's madness
Although it be the last
Hold me fast
Blind me with your charms
With all the stardust in the sky
Take me in your arms
And then goodbye
