Lyrics
- Here in the starlight
Sweetheart of mine I am yearning
Hear my cry, I can’t deny
The lovelight for you is still burning
Chorus
Starlight brings you, dear
Mem’ries creep thru, dear
Just at the close of day
You grow much dearer
Seem to be nearer
Though you are far away
But I still feel more lonely
I want you only
You may be lonely, too
Maybe your heart is aching
As mine is breaking
Here in the starlight for you
- Oft’ in the starlight
Somehow I feel you are calling
Sweetheart dear, I seem to hear
Your dear voice like leaves gently falling
Sung here by Laurence Rubenstein:
