I know the lyrics to that song,
My heart sang its melody
When first we kissed.
I know the lyrics to that song
It's the sound of spring
it's the song birds sing.
I hear it in the rustling leaves,
Every breeze repeats the sound
I hear it when you hold me,
I hear it when you caress my hair
I know the lyrics to that song
I hear it everywhere.
I wrote the last love song
Yesterday,
It was written on the breath and
Sigh of your goodbye.
Oh sweet melody of love sublime
When did I first hear your echo
Sweeping softly pass my ear
