Accompaniment by James Pitt-Payne:
Lyrics
- In a quaint old fashioned home
As humble as could be
Upon a violin a boy play’d soulfully
A girl whose heart was never filled with love
Just listened to that melody
And while a teardrop went astray
She whispered pleadingly
Chorus:
Play that soothing symphony
It’s like an angel’s melody
Just hear it moaning plaintively
Come to me, I want you
That music won my heart
It made my feelings start
Dearie, make me cheerie
Oh, that music draws you near me
Let me rest right in your arms
That melody has magic charms
I love that soothing symphony
2. Time has changed this humble scene
A pair now old and gray
Are listening to a strain
They hear their grandchild play
It brings them back again to love’s young days
When they were bashful girl and boy
And once again that melody
Just seemed to cry with joy
