English Lyrics for Elisabeth Serenade

Answer 1

Where the gentle Avon flows

and a trailing rambler grows

there is a window shining into the night

a window shining into the night

and the casement curtain flutters and glows in candle light

And a girl sits listening there

to a haunting old world aire

as if someone plays so softly below

so softly below, so softly below

she no longer hears the sweet serenade of long ago??????

phantom answer came there none

but she waited on and on

till her window grew bright with dawns early gllow

her window grew bright with dawns early glow

she no longer hears the sweet serenade of love ???????

All the while her wonder grows

as the music comes and goes

ahh what magic makes this rare delight her calling awkes the

midsummer night,

ahh ahhhh ahh ahhh ah ahhhhhh
