Sonata

 

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!

 

< instrumental break >

 

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!
