If Music Be the Food of Love

Music: David Dickau
If music be the food of love Sing on, sing on Sing on till I am filled with joy For then my listening soul you move To pleasures that can never cloy
Your eyes, your mien, your tongue declare That you are music everywhere Your eyes, your mien, your tongue declare That you are music And you are music everywhere
Pleasures invade both eye and ear So fierce the transports are, they wound And all my senses feasted are
Though yet the treat is only sound Sure I must perish by your charms Unless you save me in your arms
If music be the food of love Sing on, sing on Sing on till I am filled with joy Sing on, sing on, sing on
