Noël Coward - Where Are the Songs We Sung? Lyrics

The English playwright, actor, singer and songwriter
Noël Coward - Where Are the Songs We Sung? Lyrics

This is the song from "Operette the musical".

Where are the songs we sung
When love in our hearts was young?
Where in the limbo of our swiftly passing years,
lie all the hopes and dreams and fears ?

Where have they gone, words that rang so true
When love in our hearts was new?
Where, in the shadows that we have to pass among,
Lie the songs that once we sung.

Once in a lifetime when we are very, very young
And love comes out to greet us for the first time
We open wide our arms and say to him,
"This is the only and the last time
that young surrender !"

We can remember when some little tune
Recalls our hearts to vanished splendour
Like organ music in a sunny street,
So sweetly flat, so sadly tender.
And so, when love again rides by,
We sometimes sigh;

Where are the songs we sung
When love in our hearts was young
Can you remember all the foolish things we said,
The plans we planned, the tears we shed?

Where is it now, that enchanted dawn
When love in our hearts was born?
Where in the shadows that we have to pass among,
Lie those songs that once we sung?
