And when I hear you call
so softly to me
I don't hear a call at all,
I hear a Rhapsody
And when your sparkling eyes
are smiling at me
Then soft through the starlit skies,
I hear a rhapsody
My days are so blue
when you're away
My heart longs for you
so won't you stay
My darling, hold me tight
and whisper to me
Then soft through a starry night
I'll hear a rhapsody
