Accompaniment by James Pitt-Payne:
Lyrics
In the still of the night
As I gaze from my window
At the moon in its flight
My thoughts all stray to you
In the still of the night
All the world is in slumber
All 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
