Serenade
jack jackson & his orchestra Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Serenade in the night 'neath a fair lady's window
Just the same serenade that I tenderly played on a night long ago
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
Oh! why must the south wind be bringing it?
Oh! why must my heart keep on singing it?
Serenade in the night from the past comes to haunt me

Line by Line Meaning

Serenade in the night 'neath a fair lady's window
Playing a romantic tune by a woman's window at night


Just the same serenade that I tenderly played on a night long ago
The same sweet melody he played for her long ago


There were stars in the sky and I sang 'neath the roses
Serenading her under the starry sky near the roses


But she gave not a sign that she'd ever be mine and my love story closes
With no indication of her feelings, their love story ended


Oh! why must the south wind be bringing it?
Questioning why the wind from the south brings up old feelings


Oh! why must my heart keep on singing it?
Asking why his heart can't stop reminiscing about the past


Serenade in the night from the past comes to haunt me
Memories of past serenading are coming back to haunt him at night
