Accompaniment by James Pitt-Payne:
Lyrics
Most of the world seems to be
Listening to love’s melody
Each has a love song divine
When will I listen to mine
Chorus
Where is the song of songs for me?
Beautiful song of ecstasy
When will I hear the melody?
When will I hear the words “I love you”
Where is the one I long to see?
Close to my heart in days to be
Singing the song of songs to me
Saying the words of words, “I love you”
Sung here by Laurence Rubenstein:
