Music and Lyrics by George and Ira Gershwin (1929)
For the musical "Strike Up the Band"
Soon, the lonely nights will be ended,
Soon, two hearts as one will be blended.
I've found the happiness I've waited for;
The only guy that I was fated for.
Oh, Soon, a little cottage will find us safe
with all our cares far behind us.
The day you're mine this world will be in tune.
Let's make that day come Soon.
Soon, my dear, you'll never be lonely,
Soon, you'll find I live for you only.
When I'm with you who cares what time it is,
Or what the place or what the climate is?
Oh, Soon, our little ship will come sailing
home, through ev'ry storm, never failing.
The day you're mine this world will be in tune.
Let's make that day come Soon.
