Verse:

Down in the la -zy west rides the moon, Warm as a night in June;

Stars shimm -'ring soft in a bed of blue, While I am call -ing and call -ing you.

Sweet -ly you are dream -ing, As the dawn comes slow -ly stream -ing;

Wa -ken love in your bow -er, Greet our tryst -ing hour.

 

Chorus:

Dear one the world is wait -ing for the sun -rise;

Ev -'ry rose is heav -y with dew.

The thrush on high, his sleep -y mate is call -ing

And my heart is call -ing you!
