Lyrics

  1. When nighttime’s mantle softly falls
    And from the shadows fancy calls
    There’s a haven where from care I fly
    In the sky
    Only those may enter there
    Who abandon earthly care
    None but those who Faith possess
    Share its happiness

Chorus
Come where the cloud’s silver lining
Is always shining beyond the Moonbeam Trail
Where in a garden enchanted
Each wish is granted as in a Fairy Tale
To lonely lovers how lovely it seems
Each one discovers the girl of his dreams
Away from all earthly sorrow
You’ll find Tomorrow beyond the Moonbeam Trail

  1. The weary wand’rer finds his rest
    In shady dells where Bluebirds nest
    Peaceful valleys echo love’s sweet song
    All day long
    For the lowly and the great
    Sweet content and gladness wait
    There where love and laughter blend
    At the Rainbow’s end
