Melancholy Serenade (Jackie Gleason Show Theme) - Jackie Gleason

Melancholy serenade

Every time I hear it played

Right out of space

Your haunting face appears.

There were other serenades

Broken promises we made

Why must I pay

Day after day with tears.

Alone in my room

I watch the ghost of you

Alone in the gloom

Once more I’m close to you.

Melancholy serenade

As the music starts to fade

I feel your kiss

And then you disappear.

Alone in the gloom

Once more I’m close to you.

Melancholy serenade

As the music starts to fade

I feel your kiss

And then you disappear…
