(Jackie Gleason - Duke Enston)



Melancholy serenade

Every time I hear it played

Right out of space

Your haunting face appears.



There were other serenades

Broken promises we made

Why must I pay

Day after day with tears.



Alone in my room

I watch the ghost of you

Alone in the gloom

Once more I'm close to you.



Melancholy serenade

As the music starts to fade

I feel your kiss

And then you disappear.

Alone in the gloom

Once more I'm close to you.



Melancholy serenade

As the music starts to fade

I feel your kiss

And then you disappear...
