The Song Is Ended (but The Melody Lingers On) Lyrics - Nat King Cole

My thoughts go back to a heavenly dance 

A moment of bliss we spent 

Our hearts were filled with a song of romance 

As into the night we went 

And sang to our hearts' content 

The song is ended 

But the melody lingers on 

You and the song are gone 

But the melody lingers on 

The night was splendid 

And the melody seemed to say 

"Summer will pass away 

Take your happiness while you may" 

There 'neath the light of the moon 

We sang a love song that ended too soon
