American Quartet

"That Soothing Symphony"

Victor 17972

1916

In a quaint old-fashioned home
As humble as could be
Upon a violin a boy played soulfully
A girl whose heart was never filled with love
Just listened to that melody
And while a teardrop went astray
She whispered pleadingly:

Play that soothing symphony
It's like an angel's melody
Just hear it moaning plaintively
"Come to me--I want you!"
That music won my heart
It made my feelings start
Dearie, make me cheery
Oh, that music draws you near me
Let me rest right in your arms
That melody has magic charms
I love that soothing symphony
