The Song Is You
Music by Jerome Kern, with lyrics by Oscar Hammerstein II
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
inside 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?
That beautiful rhapsody of love
and youth
and spring
The music is sweet
The words are true
The song is you.
