Lyrics The Song Is Ended - Sam Cooke

The song is ended, but the melody lingers on
You and the sun are gone
But the melody lingers on

The night was splendid, and the melody seemed to say
"Oh summer will pass away
Take your happiness while you may"
There neath the light of the moon hmmm
We sang a love song that ended too soon
The moon descended and I found at the break of dawn

That you and the sun were gone
But the melody lingered on
Aha, yeah, but the melody lingers on
Now, you and the sun are gone
My love, but the melody lingers on, my love

Ha, oh, the melody seemed to say
"Now summer will surely pass away
Grab your happiness now while you may"
There neath the light of the moon, oh
We sang a love song, oh, that ended too soon
The moon, the moon descended and I found at the break of dawn

That you and the sun are gone
But the me-lo-d-y lingers o-n
