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

But the melody lingers on
You and the song are gone
But the melody lingers on

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, it 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
But the melody lingers on
