DEAREST LOVE

Noel Coward




I saw your face,
Shadows of the morning cleared,
I knew that suddenly the world had dropped away.
Somewhere in space
Some new lovely star appeared,
To rule our destiny for ever and a day.


I knew, the moment I touched your hand,
The Gods had planned our meeting.
Now, in this instant in the whole of time,
Our lovers' rhyme is near completing.


I saw you turn away, and for a while
My poor heart drooped and faltered;
And then I saw your strangeelusive smile,
And all my life was altered.


My dearest dear, for evermore,
The happiness we've waited for at last is here.


Dearest love, now that I've found you,
The stars change in the sky;
Every song is new,
Every note is true,
Sorrows like the clouds go sailing by.


Here my love, magic has bound you to me,
Ever to be
In my heart supreme,
Dearer than my dearest dream,
The only love for me.


Dearest love, now that I've found you,
The stars change in the sky;
Every song is new,
Every note is true,
Sorrows like the clouds go sailing by.


Here my love, magic has bound you to me,
Ever to be
In my heart supreme,
Dearer than my dearest dream,
The only love for me.
