Serenade In The Night

Mantovani

Music and Lyrics by Bixio and Cherubini



Serenade in the night

'Neath a fair lady's window,

Just the same serenade

That I tenderly played

On a night long ago.

There were stars in the sky

And I sang 'neath the roses,

But she gave not a sigh

That she'd ever be mine

And my love story closes.

Oh! why must the south wind be brining it?

Oh! why must my heart keep on singing it?

Serenade in the night

From the past comes to haunt me,

When I hear that refrain,

Oh! my heart aches again

For the lost love of mine
