Duet between Schubert & Mitzi:
SCHUBERT:
Once upon a time
In a kingdom by the sea
Lived a young prince sad and lonely
MITZI:
Under enchantement of magic mystery
SCHUBERT:
To be set free by one only
MITZI:
Weary he waited while years sped along
Came then a maid pure and holy
SCHUBERT:
Love broke the spell so the story books tell
MITZI:
And he laid at her feet this song
SCHUBERT:
You are my song of love
Melody immortal
Echo of paradise
Heard through Heaven's portal
MITZI:
Soft your music is singing, bringing
Secrets sweet in its song to me
SCHUBERT:
Your vision shines on me from above
BOTH:
You are my song of songs
All the glory of love

As recorded by Nelson Eddy & Jeanette MacDonald:
Once on a time
In the kingdom by the sea,
Lived a young prince, sad and lonely,
Under enchantment of magic mystery,
To be set free by one only.
Weary he waited while years sped along,
Came then a maid pure and holy,
Love broke the spell so the story books tell
And he laid at her feet this song.
You are my song of love,
Melody immortal,
Echo of paradise,
Heard through heaven's portal.
Soft your music is singing,
Bringing secrets sweet in its song to me.
Your vision shines on me from above,
You are my song of love,
All the glory of love.
(Musical Break)
You are my song of love,
Melody immortal,
Echo of paradise,
Heard through heaven's portal.
Soft your music is singing,
Bringing secrets sweet in its song to me.
Your vision shines on me from above,
You are my song of love,
All the glory of love.
