Strike Up the Band - Soon Lyrics

1930 Broadway
Strike Up the Band the Musical - Soon Lyrics

The song is written by George Gershwin and Ira Gershwin.

TIMOTHY:
I'm making up for all the years that I've waited
I'm compensated
At last
My heart is through with shirking
Thanks to you, it's working
Fast
The many lonely nights
And days when this duffer
Just had to suffer
Are past

ANNE:
Life will be a dream song
Love will be the theme song

TIMOTHY:
Soon
The lonely nights will be ended
Soon
Our hearts as one will be blended
I've found the happiness I've waited for
The only girl that I was fated for
Oh, soon
A little cottage will find us
Safe
With all our cares far behind us
The day you're mine this world will be in tune
Let's make that day come soon

ANNE:
Soon
My dear, you'll never be lonely
Soon
You'll find I live for you only
When I'm with you who cares what time it is?
Or what the place or what the climate is?
Oh, soon
Our little ship will come sailing
Home
Through every storm never failing

BOTH:
The day you're mine this world will be in tune
Let's make that day come soon
