Verse:

Shades of night are creep -ing, Wil -low trees are weep -ing,

Old folks and ba -bies are sleep -ing;

Sil -ver stars are gleam -ing, All a -lone I'm schem -ing,

Schem -ing to get you out here, my dear, -Come

 

Chorus:

Tip -toe to the win -dow, by the win -dow, That is where I'll be,

Come tip -toe thru the tu -lips with me;

Tip -toe from your pil -low, to the sha -dow of a wil -low tree,

And tip -toe thru the tu -lips with me;

Knee deep in flow -ers we'll stray

We'll keep the show -ers a -way; And if I

Kiss you in the gar -den, in the moon -light, Will you par -don me,

Come tip -toe thru the tu -lips with me.
