Recorded London, May 19, 1932; New Mayfair Orchestra conducted by Ray Noble
Someday 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!
I'll leave you never, love you forever,
All our past sorrow redeeming,
Try to make it true, say you love me, too,
Someday I'll find you again!
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.
Though there may be beauty in this land of yours
Skies are often dull and grey;
If I could but take this little hand of yours,
Just to lead you secretly away.
We could watch the Danube as it gently flows,
Like a silver ribbon winding free;
Even as I speak of it my longing grows,
Once again my own dear land to see.
If you could only come with me,
If you could only come with me.
I'll see you again
Whenever spring breaks through again.
Time may lie heavy between,
But what has been
Is past forgetting.
This sweet memory
Throughout my life
Will come to me.
Though my world may go awry,
In my heart will ever lie,
Just the echo of a sigh,
Goodbye.
