Here Lies Love

Here Lies Love

(Ralph Rainger / Leo Robin)

Ray Noble and His Orchestra


The end has come
My heart is numb
'Twas like a bolt from the blue above
I can't believe it but you are gone, darling
And here lies love

The sky is dark
I hear a lark
He sounds as sad as a mournful dove
The dew appears like the tears of dawn, darling
For here lies love

All my dreams lost beyond recall
Dreams of Spring blasted in the Fall
You gave lips, and you gave arms,
I gave all!

I ought to cry
My eyes are dry
There's only one thing I'm conscious of
I only know that I can't go on, darling
Here lies love
