Any little fish can swim,
Any little bird can fly,
Any little dog
Or any little cat
Can do a bit of this
And just a bit of that.
Any little horse can neigh
And any little cow can moo,
But I can't do anything at all
But just love—
You were there
Your eyes looked into mine and faltered
Everywhere
The colour of the whole world altered
False came true
My universe tumbled in two
The earth became heaven for you were there
Some day I'll find you
Moonlight behind you
True to the dream I am dreaming
As I draw near you you'll smile a little smile
For a little while
We shall stand
Hand in hand
Let's look on love as a plaything
All these sweet moments we've known
Mustn't be degraded
When the thrill of them has faded
Let's say goodbye and leave them alone
I'll follow my secret heart
My whole life through
I'll keep all my dreams apart
Till one comes true
No matter what price is paid
What stars may fade above
I'll follow my secret heart
Till I find love
For I believe
That since my life began
The most I've had is just
A talent to amuse
Hey-ho
If love were all
Play, orchestra play
Play something light and sweet and gay
For we must have music, we must have music
To drive our tears away
While our illusions swiftly fade for us
Let's have an orchestra score
In the confusion the years have made for us
Serenade for us just once more
Life needn't be grey
Although it's changing day by day
Though few old dreams may decay
Play, orchestra play.
