[Verse 1]
Serenade in the night
'Neath a fair lady's window
Just the same serenade
That I tenderly played
On a night long ago

[Verse 2]
There were stars in the sky
And I sang 'neath the roses
But she gave not a sign
That she'd ever be mine
And my love story closes

[Bridge]
Oh, why must the south wind be bringing it?
Oh, why must my heart keep on singing it?

[Verse 3]
Serenade in the night
From the past comes to haunt me
When I hear that refrain
Oh, my heart aches again
For that lost love of mine

[Verse 1]
Just the same serenade
That I tenderly played
On a night long ago
[Verse 2]
But she gave not a sign
That she'd ever be mine
And my love story closes

[Bridge]
Oh, why must the south wind be bringing it?
Oh, why must my heart keep on singing it?

[Verse 3]
Serenade in the night
From the past comes to haunt me
When I hear that refrain
Oh, my heart aches again
For that lost love of mine
