Serenade in the Night

Serenade in the night
'Neath a fair lady’s window
Just the same serenade
That I tenderly played
On a night long ago
There were stars in the sky
And I sang 'neath the roses
But she gave not a sign
That she’d ever be mine
And my love story closes
Oh, why must the south wind be bringing it
Oh, why must my heart keep on singing it
Serenade in the night
From the past comes to haunt me
When I hear that refrain
Oh, my heart aches again
For that lost love of mine
Just the same serenade
That I tenderly played
On a night long ago
But she gave not a sign
That she’d ever be mine
And my love story closes
Oh, why must the south wind be bringing it
Oh, why must my heart keep on singing it
Serenade in the night
From the past comes to haunt me
When I hear that refrain
Oh, my heart aches again
For that lost love of mine
