  23 <p>The lyrics as Dylan sings them differ slightly from the original, which
  24 are given below. As a matter of fact, the tune isn't quite the way
  25 Gershwin wrote it either, so if you want the real thing, <a href="soon.pdf">here's</a> a leadsheet of the original (pdf).</p>

  66 <h3>Original Lyrics</h3>
  67 <pre class="verse">
  68 Soon the lonely nights will be ended,
  69 Soon, two hearts as one will be blended.
  70 I've found the happiness I've waited for.
  71 The only girl that I was fated for.
  72
  73 Oh, soon a little cottage will find us
  74 Safe with all our cares far behind us
  75 The day your mine this world will be in tune
  76 Let's make that day come soon.
