Here Lies Love

(album: The Many Faces Of Sammy Davis, Jr. - 1965)

Night winds, cold and melancholy
Wave a blue finale
For my tragedy
Life a misery
Meant only for me
While I linger, weary
'Neath a willow tree

Right here our romance was started
Here again we parted
When I set you free
All my thoughts are jumbled
Everything is blurred
All the world has crumbled
Shattered by word

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

The sky is dark
And 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, 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

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

I only know that I can't go on, darling
For here lies love
