Lyrics

Until I fell in love
My life was very easy
The moon just made it moonlight
The breeze just made it breezy
And then I fell in love
And things that once were clear
Now I scarcely see or hear

Refrain:
Somewhere there’s music, how faint the tune
Somewhere there’s heaven, how high the moon
There is no moon above
When love is far away, too
Till it comes true
That you love me as I love you
Somewhere there’s music, it’s where you are
Somewhere there’s heaven, how near, how far
The darkest night would shine
If you would come to me soon
Until you will, how still my heart
How high the moon!
