Accompaniment by James Pitt-Payne:
Lyrics
If you see the heavens full of nightingales
And they all are singing as they fly
Then you’ll know, my dear
What I always hear
Ev’ry time that you pass by
Refrain
There’s a love song floating on the soft summer air
When you spoke, you left it there
From this day I walk with music
For your voice will follow me ev’rywhere
Your sweet sigh will come singing through the sky
I will hear and understand
And though I wander past the last distant star
It will never seem too far
For from this day on, I walk with music
And that song will lead me to where you are
