When I see you smile at me I hear a haunting melody And I surrender to The tender thrill that it brings A holiday for strings Sweet music all around me. Softly as the song begins I hear a host of violins Or can it only be my lonely heart that sings A holiday for strings Because your love has found me. Through the night, a love song fills the air I hear it everywhere So sweetly telling me I 'm yours completely. A new born rhapsody When you are close to me There's music, never heard such lovely music. When you're gone it fades away But when we meet, I hear it play As from above, a song of love Comes sweet and oh so clear Whenever you are near The angels play A holiday for strings. A holiday for strings.
