About the Operas
by Sigmund Romberg
SERENADE
PRINCE
Overhead the moon is beaming
White as blossoms on the bough
Nothing is heard
But the song of a bird
Filling all the air with dreaming
Could my heart but still its beating
Only you can tell it how
Beloved,
From your window give me greeting
Hear my eternal vow
Soft in the trees signs the echo of my longing
While all around you my dreams of rapture throng
My soul, my joy
My hope, my dear!
Your heart must tell you
That I am near
Lean from above
While I pour out my love
For you know to my life
You are dear
Oh hear my longing cry
Oh love me or I die
Overhead the moon is beaming
White as blossoms on the bough
Nothing is heard
But the song of a bird
Filling all the air with dreaming
Could my heart but still its beating
Only you can tell it how
Beloved,
From your window give me greeting
I swear my eternal vow!
