Where's the Melody
Brenda Lee · Other Songs - Brenda Lee
Did it fade away, like your love for me
The melody of love that's what I'm speaking of
Now there's no melody, there's only you and me.
Where's the melody, where's the melody
We say words of love, but there's no heart in me
You know I remember when I heard violins
Every time you'd be standing close to me.
Your still close to me yet so far away
Your not loving me like you did yesterday
I know there's something missing
Cause I can feel it when we're kissing
It's not the way it use to be
Where's the melody, where's the melody
I heard the music stop when you stopped loving me.
And now my heart don't sing, now the bell don't ring
And where's the melody that sang for you and me
Where's the melody, where's the melody
I wanna hear it one more time
Just played for you and me
Where's the melody, where's the melody
I wanna hear it one time for you and me...
