The Breeze
Henry King and his Orchestra Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

The breeze and I are saying with a sigh
That you no longer care
The breeze and I are whispering goodbye
To dreams we used to share

Ours was a love song that seemed constant as the moon
Ending in a strange, mournful tune
And all about me, they know you have departed without me
And we wonder why, the breeze and I




The breeze and I
