Lyrics Bright Was the Day - Noël Coward

Bright was the day when you came to me
Someone had whispered your name to me
Someone had told me how fair you were
Then at last, there you were
Dreams long forgotten revive again
Suddenly life seems to be alive again
I heard that melody start
Delicately-delicately-in my heart

This morning when I woke the light was clear in the sky
A sweet wind murmered through the trees
A singing bird was singing very near in the sky
And in the breeze
Which drove the clouds so gaily by
I thought I heard a different note-a little sigh
Which seemed to say
This is your day
Be careful, please
Be careful, please!
Don't let this light enchantment fade away
This is your day
This is your day!

Though we-may never meet again
There'll never be a day so sweet again
Deep in my heart, no matter what the troubled years may bring
A secret voice-will ever sing

Bright was the day when you came to me
Someone had whispered your name to me
I heard the theme of your song before
Far away, long before
Light was the music that played for me
You were the song Destiny had made for me
I heard that melody start
Passionately-passionately-in my heart
