Lyrics

I wonder’d why the night was so beautiful to me
I wonder’d why its light was so beautiful to see
I wonder’d at the radiance in its tender mystic glow
But since I’ve met you dear now I know

Chorus
The pale yellow moon in the skies up above
Takes its radiance from the gold in your won’drous hair
The bright twinkling stars that we all learn to love
From your radiant eyes have borrow’d their share
The still silver pool in the shade of the glen
Is the radiance of your soul shining through
And the sunshine of your smile
Makes the summer night worth while
For they all take their radiance from you
