Sonata, my sonata

I hear your haunting theme

and I begin to dream!

You linger, my sonata

in every reverie

you bring your love to me!

Please, play on,

make my dream love stay

when you're gone she fades away!

Sonata, when I find her,

each tender note you play

will be my serenade!

Please, play on,

make my dream love stay

when you're gone she fades away!

Sonata, when I find her,

each tender note you play

will be my serenade!

. . . my sonata!

Music by Alex Alstone
