Can't you hear it whisper all your heart would know, You could mean the world to me I love you so. Maybe it'll jog someone elses memory. Meanwhile try http://www.enternet.co.nz/client/personal/jen/individual.html It (Jen's lyrics site again) has links to lyrics from musicals. Slainte Alison |

01 Dec 97 - 11:29 AM (#16917) Subject: RE: Rogers & Hammerstein Lyrics? From: Alice The Merry Widow is an entire opera by Granz Lehar. It is absolutely delightful, with many more wonderful songs besides the waltz. You may want to check out a video performance from your local library. It's worth it. Alice in Montana |

15 Mar 15 - 07:38 AM (#3694159) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: The Merry Widow Waltz (Franz Lehar) From: Murpholly The song comes from the light opera of the same name which was obviously written in German. There have been several translations into English but this is the one usually used by the amateur groups or as much as I can remember Love unspoken, Word unbroken, All life through Bells are playing, Here them saying Love me do Here the echo answer Do you love me true All the world's in Love with love and I love you I hear the music play; It carries me away Upon the clouds of sweet __________ Repeat chorus |

26 Dec 23 - 10:18 PM (#4194297) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: The Merry Widow Waltz (Franz Lehar) From: GUEST,Ckoh with apology to MMario. A few words cha Hear sweet music softly playing ‘I love u’. May from your heart come those words ‘I love u too’ Tenderly hands pressing, fondest vows renew Saying once again ‘My love, ah I love u’ How in the waltz we dance Our souls would remain entranced Our hearts no more repine but seem to murmur ‘Oh be mine!’ And yet gliding silently no words are said twist u and me Our fond hearts speak those words ‘I love but thee alone’ Reprise PS: anyone with smoother lyrics in English to ‘Humoresque’ by Dvorzak? Mine goes like this: Humoresque my heart at rest for when I hear your tones so clear They sing of peace. All worries cease for me. Melody u bring to me a memory that seems to be so real, It’s all so plain to see. Home and the moonlight ,love and the June night That’s the vision oh so plain. And the breeze in the tree sings the same melody, Oh how I wish I could be there again. |

When you blow out the candles there's one thing we know That's the love that's in your heart where e're you go |

31 Dec 23 - 09:59 AM (#4194537) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: The Merry Widow Waltz (Franz Lehar) From: GUEST,keberoxu Samuel Beckett's play "Happy Days" has its main character sing the first part of the waltz, unaccompanied, to end the entire play. Beckett uses an English translation that is different than what has so far been posted here. One line goes, "Every touch of fingers tells me what I know, ---- ---- ---- it's true, it's true, you love me so" |
