Nol Coward — Where Are The Songs We Sung?

Where are the songs we sung When the love in our hearts was young? Where in the limbo of the swiftly passing years Lie all our hopes and dreams and fears? Where have they gone, words that rang so true When love in our hearts was new? Where in the shadows that we have to pass among Lie those songs that once we sung? Once in a lifetime when we are very, very young And love comes out to greet us for the first time We open wide our arms and say to him "This is the only and the last time" That young surrender We can remember when some little tune Recalls our hearts to vanished splendor Like organ music in a sunny street So sweetly flat, so sadly tender And so when love again rides by We sometimes sigh Where are the songs we sung When love in our hearts was young? Can you remember all the foolish things we said The plans we planned, the tears we shed? Where is it now, that enchanted dawn When love in our hearts was born? Where in the shadows that we have to pass among Lie those songs that once we sung?
