Noël Coward
Medley
As recorded at Las Vegas in June, 1955

I'll see you again
Whenever spring breaks through again
Time may lie heavy—between
But what has been
Is past forgetting

Dance, dance, dance little lady
Youth is fleeting to the rhythm
Beating in your mind
Dance, dance, dance little lady
So obsessed with second best
No rest you’ll ever find
Time and tide and trouble
Never, never wait
Let the cauldron bubble
Justify your fate
Dance, dance, dance little lady
Dance, dance, dance little lady
Leave tomorrow behind

The life you lead sets all your nerves a-jangle
You love affairs are in a hopeless tangle
Though you're a child, dear
Your life's a wild typhoon!
In lives of leisure
The craze for pleasure
Steadily grows;
Cocktails and laughter
But what comes after?
Nobody knows!
You're weaving love into a mad jazz pattern
Ruled by Pantaloon
Poor little rich girl
Don't drop a stitch too soon

We'll be as happy and contented as birds upon a tree
High above the mountains and the sea
We'll bill and we'll coo-oo-oo
And sorrow will never come
Oh, will it ever come true
Our room with a view?

Some day I'll find you
Moonlight behind you
True to the dream I am dreaming
As I draw near you you'll smile a little smile
For a little while
We shall stand
Hand in hand
I'll follow my secret heart
My whole life through
I'll keep all my dreams apart
Till one comes true
No matter what price is paid
What stars may fade above
I'll follow my secret heart
Till I find love

For I believe
That since my life began
The most I've had is just
A talent to amuse
Heigh-ho
If love were all

Play, orchestra play
Play something light and sweet and gay
For we must have music, we must have music
To drive our fears away
While our illusions swiftly fade for us
Let’s have an orchestra score
In the confusion the years have made for us
Serenade for us just once more
Life needn’t be grey
Although it’s changing day by day
Though few old dreams may decay
Play, orchestra play
