Private Lives, Love Scene - Gertrude Lawrence, Noël Coward

When one is lonely the days are long;

You seem so near

But never appear

Each night I sing you a lover’s song;

Please try to hear

My dear, my dear

Someday I’ll find you

Moonlight behind you

True to the dream I am dreaming

As I draw near you

You’ll smile a little smile;

For a little while

We shall stand

Hand in hand

I’ll leave you never

Love you for ever

All our past sorrow redeeming:

Try to make it true

Say you love me too

Someday I’ll find you again

Can’t you remember the fun we had?

Time is so fleet

Why shouldn’t we meet?

When you’re away from me days are sad;

Life’s not complete

My sweet, my sweet

Ref again
