Lyrics
- Shadows are creeping
The whole world is sleeping
While old days are changing to new
Lovebirds are nesting
The flowers are resting
Awaiting ’til dawn brings the dew
All is still o’er the hill
On through the gloaming
I find myself roaming
And once more the night leads to you
Chorus
Moonlight when shadows fall
Moonlight I hear you call
Love beams through every silv’ry gleam
That’s shining, I’m pining
Moonlight so soft above
June light please find my love
Tell her that I’m still waiting
In the pale moonlight
- Your light a-gleaming
Has set me a-dreaming
Of someone I’m longing to see
Weary, I wander
But I know up yonder
You shine where that someone can be
Seek for me patiently
While you are shining
A bright silver lining
Still leads me thru pastures anew
