Lyrics
Dreamy western stars in the skies
And their light softly falls
Strumming sweet guitars fill the air
And their song sweetly calls
Chorus
The moon is low, stars up above
And this is the night to tell you of love
Alone we two, a campfire gleams
Tonight we will find the trail of our dreams
The purple hills, this call of the west
Your face close to mine, our lips are pressed
The moon is low, stars up above
And this is the night to tell you of love
Sung here by Laurence Rubenstein:
