While My Lady Sleeps

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 willow tree weeps, and 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 willow tree weeps, and my lady sleeps.
