Lyrics
- Shadows are falling and night-time is calling
This is the time for love
Day has just ended, the moon has descended
Lighting the sky above
Day seem’d so long, dear, waiting for you
Moments seem’d years to me
Night-time has brought you, daylight has lost you
Would it could always be
Chorus
Deep night stars in the sky above
Moonlight lighting our place of love
Night winds seem to have gone to rest
Two eyes brightly with love are gleaming
Come to my arms my darling
My sweetheart, my own
Vow that you’ll love me always
And be mine alone
Deep night whispering trees above
Kind night bringing you nearer
Dearer, and dearer
Deep night deep in the arms of love
- Now you are near me, love, and endear me
Drive all my cares away
Tell me you want me, just as you haunt me
All thru the dreary day
When you are gone, dear, life seems in vain
For you are life to me
Oh, how I miss you, longing to kiss you
Would it could always be
Sung here by Laurence Rubenstein.
