Accompaniment by James Pitt-Payne:
Lyrics
- Though I know that we meet every night
And we couldn’t have changed
Since the last time
To my joy and delight
It’s a new kind of love at first sight
Though it’s you and it’s I all the time
Every meeting’s marvelous pastime
You’re increasingly sweet
So whenever we happen to meet
I greet you
Refrain
With a song in my heart
I behold your adorable face
Just a song at the start
But it soon is a hymn to your grace
When the music swells
I’m touching your hand
It tells that you’re standing near and
At the sound of your voice
Heaven opens it’s portals to me
Can I help but rejoice
That a song such as ours came to be?
But I always knew
I would live life through
With a song in my heart for you
- Oh, the moon’s not a moon for a night
And these stars will not twinkle and fade out
And the words in my ears
Will resound for the rest of my years
In the morning I’ll find with delight
Not a note of our music is played out
It will be just as sweet
And an air that I’ll live to repeat
I greet you
