From “The Ziegfeld Follies of 1927”
Words and music by Irving Berlin
The sheet music:
Accompaniment by James Pitt-Payne:
Lyrics
The world goes ’round to the sound
Of a love song
A melody for you and me
In ev’ry heart there’s a part
Of a love song
‘Twas ever so, ’twill ever be
Chorus
Learn to sing a love song
And you’ll remain forever young
Learn it in the springtime
When every song of love is sung
Time will fly and bye and bye
When dreary winter comes along
You can sit by your fireside
Humming an old love song
Sung here by Laurence Rubenstein:
