The Song Is You
John Pizzarelli Trio Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
A moment of bliss we spent
Our hearts were filled with a song of romance
As into the night we went
And sang to our hearts' content
The song is ended
But the melody lingers on
But the melody lingers on
The night was splendid
And the melody seemed to say
"Summer will pass away
Take your happiness while you may"
There 'neath the light of the moon
We sang a love song that ended too soon
The moon descended
And I found with the break of dawn
You and the song had gone
But the melody lingers on

The song's message is poignant, reminding us of the beauty of love and the transience of life. The singer acknowledges the passage of time and the inevitable end of summer, urging us to take our happiness while we can.

I was lucky enough to know Johnny and work with him a few times. He and Joe Vito in Chicago were unmatched, and both were hilariously funny cats. This is a great cut and thanks for posting.

Jerome Kern wrote the music, Oscar Hammerstein II the lyrics. It's from "Music In The Air", a 1932 musical. Like most Kern songs, it is playful in its harmonies.
