Songtexte If Music Be the Food of Love - Christopher Hogwood , Henry Purcell , Emma Kirkby , Richard Campbell

If music be the food of love
Sing on, sing on, sing on
Till I am filled with joy
For then my listening soul you move
To pleasures that can never cloy
Your eyes, your mien, your tongue
Declare that you are music everywhere
Pleasures invade both eye and ear
Though fierce the transport, ah, they wound
And all my senses feasted are
Though yet the treat is only sound
Soon I must perish by your charms
Unless you save me in your arms
