Noël Coward - Coward Medley-Part II lyrics

Any little fish can swim, Any little bird can fly, Any little dog Or any little cat Can do a bit of this And just a bit of that. Any little horse can neigh And any little cow can moo, But I can't do anything at all But just love— You were there Your eyes looked into mine and faltered Everywhere The colour of the whole world altered False came true My universe tumbled in two The earth became heaven for you were there Some day I'll find you Moonlight behind you True to the dream I am dreaming As I draw near you you'll smile a little smile For a little while We shall stand Hand in hand Let's look on love as a plaything All these sweet moments we've known Mustn't be degraded When the thrill of them has faded Let's say goodbye and leave them alone I'll follow my secret heart My whole life through I'll keep all my dreams apart Till one comes true No matter what price is paid What stars may fade above I'll follow my secret heart Till I find love For I believe That since my life began The most I've had is just A talent to amuse Hey-ho If love were all Play, orchestra play Play something light and sweet and gay For we must have music, we must have music To drive our tears away While our illusions swiftly fade for us Let's have an orchestra score In the confusion the years have made for us Serenade for us just once more Life needn't be grey Although it's changing day by day Though few old dreams may decay Play, orchestra play.
