Coward: Operette - Dearest Love - Joan Sutherland, Noël Coward, Decca Studio Orchestra

Dearest Love

Now that I’ve found you

The stars change in the sky

Every song is new

Every note is true

Sorrows like the clouds go sailing by

Here, my love

Magic has bound you

To me ever to be

In my heart supreme

Dearer than my dearest dream

The only love for me

Skies that were cloudy are clear again

All other people seem

Like figures in a dream;

Every song that I loved I seem to hear again

Time goes by like a murmering stream

Love is enchanting the two of us

A magic we can share

A something in the air

Proving that destiny knew of us

Now heaven is at our feet

This happiness complete

Could not be merely chance

This exquisite romance

Forever has us bound

For this that we have found

No time nor tide could sever, ever

Dearest Love

Waking or sleeping, I think only of you

Though our story’s told

Though our world is cold

Though we have to build our lives anew

Dear, my love

Lies in your keeping

Till all memories die

Though we have to part

Thank you for your loving heart

My only love, good-bye
