by Edward Frederick Lockton (1876 - 1940)
Somewhere in this summer night
Language: English
Somewhere in this summer night A nightingale sings sweet and clear, Songs that I used to love so well, Could I but hear! Somewhere in this summer night A star is looking down on me, Looking on me with pitying eyes, Could I but see! Somewhere in this summer night A heart is waiting, fond and true, Waiting with love to welcome me, If I but knew!
