Somewhere there's music; how faint the tune.

Somewhere there's heaven; how high the moon.

There is no moon above when love is far away, too.

'Til it comes true that you love me as I love you

The darkest night would shine If you would come to me soon.

Until you will, how still my heart, how high the moon.

 

Somewhere there's music; how faint the tune.

Somewhere there's heaven; how high the moon.

There is no moon above when love is far away, too.

'Til it comes true that you love me as I love you

 

Somewhere there's music; how near, how far?

Somewhere there's heaven; it's where you are.

The darkest night would shine if you would come to me soon.

Until you will, how still my heart, how high the moon.
