The moon will rise
But all in vain
For there's no use in shining
While my lady sleeps
The breeze will sing
A sad refrain
Because her heart is pining
While my lady sleeps
Starlight and moonlight
And amorous melody wasted
What can they mean when I'm yearning for kisses never tasted?
The night may hold a million dreams
But when her eyes discover
Just a lonely lover
She will hurry on
With a sigh to the dawn
While the world weeps
And my lady sleeps
