Lyrics

Lover/The Song Is You
Lover (Richard Rodgers) and The Song Is You (Jerome Kern/Oscar Hammerstein)

Lover, when I’m near you and I hear you speak my name
Softly in my ear, you breathe a flame

Lover it’s immoral but why quarrel with our bliss
When two lips of coral wanna kiss

I say the devil is in you and to resist you I try
But if you didn’t continue I would die

Lover, please be tender
When you’re tender, fears depart
Lover, I surrender to my heart

I hear music when I look at you
A beautiful theme of every dream I ever knew
Down deep in my heart I hear it play
I feel it start. Then melt away

I hear music when I touch your hand
A beautiful melody from some enchanted land
Down deep in my heart I hear it say is this the day

I alone have heard this lovely strain
I alone have heard this glad refrain
Must it be forever in side of me
Why can’t I let it go?
Why can’t I let you know?
Why can’t I let you know the song my heart would sing?
A beautiful rhapsody of love and youth and spring
The music is sweet all the words are true
The song is you

I alone have heard this lovely strain
I alone have heard this glad refrain
Must it be forever in side of me?
Why can’t I let it go?
Why can’t I let you know, ohhh?

I say the devil is in you and to resist you I try
But if you didn't continue I would die

Lover, please be tender
When your tender, fears depart
Lover, I surrender to my heart
To my heart
To my heart
To my heart!
