MY SONG GOES ROUND THE WORLD
(Hans May / Ernst Neubach / Jimmy Kennedy (Eng l) 1933)

as recorded by Richard Crooks
1934


I sing a song
The whole day long,
Just one song that's in my mind.
Each melody
Is haunting me
Every night and day, I find!
It echoes deep within the heart of every lover,
Among the high folk, among the low,
This tender love song.
It wanders far, it lingers near,
Saying, "I love you dear!"

My song goes round the world,
The song I made for you,
Singing your charms to stars above you,
Telling the world how much I love you!

'Twas you inspired my song
When love first came to stay.
To every heart a feeling,
My love refrain comes stealing,
My song will live though all things may pass away!

'Twas you inspired my song
When love first came to stay.
To every heart a feeling,
My love refrain comes stealing,
My song will live though all things may pass away!
