Píseň: The Song Is Ended

Interpret:
Sam Cooke
Album:
My Kind Of Blues
The song is ended
 But the melody lingers on
 you and the sun are gone
 but the melody lingers on


 The night was splendid
 and the melody seemed to say
 O, summer will pass away
 Take your happiness while you may
 There beneath the light of the moon
 We sang a love song that ended too soon
 The moon descended and I found at the break of dawn
 That you and the sun are gone
 but the melody lingers on
 but the melody lingers on
 That you and the sun are gone
 but the melody lingers on


 The night was splendid
 and the melody seemed to say
 O, summer will pass away
 Take your happiness while you may
 There beneath the light of the moon
 We sang a love song that ended too soon
 The moon descended and I found at the break of dawn
 That you and the sun are gone
 but the melody lingers on
