Starlight Love
Language: English
One more day fades away, Twilight comes on anew; Fleeting hours, drooping flow'rs, Song of the birds-and You! Soft winds blow sweet and low, Sighing from o'er the sea; Starlight's here, with you, dear, Nestling so close to me! Stars shine high above In this hour of love; Here 'neath the starlight I hear your voice a-whisp'ring, Telling again that you love me! Ev'ry little star Shining from afar Matches the lovelight That in your eyes is beaming, - My own, my Starlight Love! April show'rs, Maytime flow'rs, Glorious days of June; Ev'ry day seems to say Love shall unite us soon! Heart to heart, ne'er to part, Hasten that happy day! How I long for that song, - Love's old sweet song for aye!
