Holiday for Strings
When I see you smile at me
I hear a haunting melody
And I surrender to
The tender thrill it brings
A holiday for strings
Sweet music all around me.
Softly as the song begins
I hear a host of violins
Or can it only be my lonely heart that sings
A holiday for strings
Because your love has found me.
Through the night a love song fills the air
I hear it everywhere
So sweetly telling me
I’m yours completely.
Breezes sigh a newborn rhapsody
When you are close to me
There’s music
Never heard such lovely music.
When you’re gone it fades away
But when we meet I hear it play
As from above, a song of love
Comes sweet and clear
Whenever you are near
The angels play
A holiday for strings.
Through the night a love song fills the air
I hear it everywhere
So sweetly telling me
I’m yours completely.
Breezes sigh a newborn rhapsody
When you are close to me
There’s music
Never heard such lovely music.
My heart sings
To this song of strings
Because your love runs sweetly
Nearer to me
When you’re gone it fades away
But when we meet I hear it play
As from above, a song of love
Comes sweet and clear
Whenever you are near
The angels play
A holiday for strings.
