(Jackie Gleason — Duke Enston)
Melancholy serenade
Every time I hear it played
Right out of space
Your haunting face appears.
There were other serenades
Broken promises we made
Why must I pay
Day after day with tears.
Alone in my room
I watch the ghost of you
Alone in the gloom
Once more I’m close to you.
Melancholy serenade
As the music starts to fade
I feel your kiss
And then you disappear.
— Instrumwental —
Alone in the gloom
Once more I’m close to you.
Melancholy serenade
As the music starts to fade
I feel your kiss
And then you disappear…
