The Song Is Ended
The Boilermaker Jazz Band 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 melody seems to almost speak to the singer, reminding them to cherish the happiness they feel in the present, because time passes quickly and it’s important to make the most of every moment.

You and the song had gone
You had left, and the music had stopped playing
But the melody lingers on
But the memories of our time together and the feelings we shared continue to resonate
