The Song is Ended (But the Melody Lingers on) - Sam Cooke

The song is ended

But the melody lingers on

you and the sun are gone

but the melody lingers on

The night was splendid

and the melody seemed to say

O, summer will pass away

Take your happiness while you may

There beneath the light of the moon

We sang a love song that ended too soon

The moon descended and I found at the break of dawn

That you and the sun are gone

but the melody lingers on

but the melody lingers on

That you and the sun are gone

but the melody lingers on

The night was splendid

and the melody seemed to say

O, summer will pass away

Take your happiness while you may

There beneath the light of the moon

We sang a love song that ended too soon

The moon descended and I found at the break of dawn

That you and the sun are gone

but the melody lingers on
