Serenade in the Night

There's a melody that plays upon my heart strings
When the splendor of the setting sun is fading
From the hill I hear a love serenading
And tonight it carves steel once again

Just a melody that comes, bound to remind me
But one night I sang a love song all in there

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 a window
But she gave not a sign that she'd ever be mine and my love story closes

Oh, why must the south wind be bringing 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 that lost love of mine

Serenade in the night from the past comes to haunt me
When I hear that refrain, oh, my heart aches again
For that lost love of mine
