Lyrics
It’s funny dear, but when you’re near
The murmuring of the breeze becomes a rhapsody
The rustle of the trees becomes a symphony
Every breath you take is music to my ears
Chorus:
And when I hear you call so softly to me
I don’t hear a call at all
I hear a Rhapsody
And when your sparkling eyes are smiling at me
Then soft through the starlit skies
I hear a rhapsody
My days are so blue when you’re away
My heart longs for you, so won’t you stay?
My darling, hold me tight and whisper to me
Then soft through a starry night
I’ll hear a rhapsody
