American Quartet br br "That Soothing Symphony" br br Victor 17972 br br 1916 br br In a quaint old-fashioned home br As humble as could be br Upon a violin a boy played soulfully br A girl whose heart was never filled with love br Just listened to that melody br And while a teardrop went astray br She whispered pleadingly: br br Play that soothing symphony br It's like an angel's melody br Just hear it moaning plaintively br "Come to me--I want you!" br That music won my heart br It made my feelings start br Dearie, make me cheery br Oh, that music draws you near me br Let me rest right in your arms br That melody has magic charms br I love that soothing symphony
