Full Lyrics
Where the gentle Avon flows
And a trailing rambler grows
There's a window shining into the night, a window shining into the night
And a casement curtain flutters and blows in candle light mm
And a girl sits list'ning there
To a haunting old world air
One played so softly below, so softly below, so softly below,
All entranced she hears that sweet serenade of long ago mm
All the while her wonder grows
As that music comes and goes
Ah, what magic makes this rare delight,
Her calling awakes the mid summer night,
Who can it be, playing out there
Playing for me such a sweet Air
Clavichord bells tinkling in time
Why do you chime, Why do you ring
Ding, ding, Tell me minstrel tell me the tale of love you sing
Phantom answer came there none,
But she waited on and on
Till her window grew bright with dawn's early glow, her window grew bright with dawn's early glow,
And that bygone lover haunting the night
Was silent below
He no longer played that sweet serenade of long ago. mm
