SONG I LOVE, THE
Ray Henderson (m) Buddy De Sylva (l) Lew Brown (l)  1928

as rec by Nick Lucas  1928


There in the moonlight we strayed,
And all the plans that we made,
That night the orchestra played
The song I love.

Our passion burst into flame,
You said the song was to blame!
And that's just why it became
The song I love.

Is our flame of love now just an ember,
Memory forgotten, all that I remember?

Or do you wish I were near
And do you cry for me, dear?
Or will I cry when I hear
The song I love?

Someone is playing the song I love,
It still can thrill me through and through!
It speaks of moonlight and stars aove,
And of the dream night I found you!

Is our flame of love now just an ember,
Memory forgotten, all that I remember?


Or do you wish I were near
And do you cry for me, dear?
Or will I cry when I hear
The song I love?
