Lyrics
We two were dancing
Our hearts romancing
The music stopped too soon
When night descended
My leave was ended
But still I hear that tune
Chorus
Hm-mm-mm
Why does it keep haunting me?
That tune I heard on leave
Hm-mm-mm
It clings to my memory
The way, my love, you clung to my sleeve
And when I kissed you
Did I hear you whisper
“I love you” my darling
That’s the thing my heart just longs to believe
Hm-mm-mm-mm-mm
If it’s true, then let it keep haunting me
That tune I heard on leave
