TAKE THE SUN
Nino Rota & Emery Bonett

Sung by Tito Gobbi in the film "The Glass Mountain"


Since you must go my love,
Take with you on your way
The song of the lark at dawn.
Take all the flow'rs of May,
The blossom tasselled bough
Means only heartbreak now
I walk in the dark alone.

Take the sun from the sky,
And take the moon from on high.
Take the laughter and delight,
All of heaven's light,
For after you have gone
Oh! How shall I need the sun? 

Take the sun from the sky, 
And take the moon from on high
For what-so-e'er you take
You leave my heart to break
And when my life is done
Oh how shall I need the sun?
Take the sun.
