HEAVEN DROPS HER CURTAIN DOWN (Twilight Theme Of An Autumn Fantasy)
(Sammy Mysels / George Mysels)

Jo Stafford - 1951
Jerry Vale - 1959


Heaven drops her curtain down 
And sunset silhouettes the town
Autumn breezes sweep the ground 
And scatter memories all around

Memories of a lovely night
I might have made you mine
Here am I demanding consolation 
From the wine

Consolation for the tears
The bitter taste of wasted years
Wasted like the words so dear
We never spoke, yet longed to hear

Longed to hear and yearned to answer 
Never more to part
No more to part
Till heaven drops her curtain down upon my heart

(Instrumental Break)

Consolation for the tears
The bitter taste of wasted years
Wasted like the words so dear
We never spoke, yet longed to hear

Longed to hear and yearned to answer 
Never more to part
No more to part
Till heaven drops her curtain down upon my heart
