Lovely song of love
The music of a silver star
Won't you be my serenade 
That's softly played on my guitar

Tonight while all the world is still
Here I stand under her window sill
Sing to my my loved one, Serenata for me
Sing her your song, love's melody

So near, yet we're so far apart
Here I'll stand till I have won her heart
Go to my loved one, Serenata and say
When you're in love, love finds a way

(Orchestral Interlude)

So near, yet we're so far apart
Here I'll stand till I have won her heart
Go to my loved one, Serenata and say
When you're in love, love finds a way
Love always finds a way
I'll win her heart some day

As recorded by SARAH VAUGHAN:


Tonight while all the world is still
Fly sweet song over the highest hill
Go to my loved one, Serenata for me
Sing him my song, love's melody

Tonight we are so far apart
Bring him back, back to my lonely heart
Go to my loved one, Serenata and say
When we're in love, love finds a way

(Orchestral Interlude)

Go to my loved one,Serenata for me
Sing him my song, love's melody

(Orchestral Interlude)

Go to my loved one, Serenata and say
When you're in love, love finds a way
Love finds a way
Love finds a way
Love finds a way
