Lyrics
Down in the lazy west rides the moon
Warm as a night in June
Stars shimm’ring soft in a bed of blue
While I am calling and calling you
Sweetly you are dreaming
As the dawn comes slowly streaming
Waken love in your bower
Greet our trysting hour
Refrain
Dear one, the world is waiting for the sunrise
Ev’ry rose is heavy with dew
The thrush on high
His sleepy mate is calling
And my heart is calling you
Sung here by Vancha March:
