- Verse:
- Down in the lazy west rides
the moon, Warm as a night in June;
- Stars shimm'ring soft in
a bed of blue, While I am calling and calling you.
- Sweetly you are dreaming,
As the dawn comes slowly streaming;
- Waken love in your bower,
Greet our trysting hour.
-
- Chorus:
- Dear one the world, Is
waiting for the sunrise,
- Ev'ry rose is heavy with
dew.
- The thrush on high, His
sleepy mate is calling,
- And my heart is calling
you!
