In the still of the night
               As I gaze from my window
           At the moon in it's flight
       My thoughts all stray to you

In the still of the night
         While the world is in slumber
               Oh, the times without number
           Darling, when I say to you
                         Do you love me as I love you:

         Are you my life to be
               My dream come true?
                       Or will this dream of mine
                     Fade out of sight
               Like the moon, growing dim
       On the rim of the hill
In the chill, still of the night?
