Lyrics
Come out, oh, my beloved
Myriad stars sing in the skies
Come out, oh, my beloved
That I may gaze in your eyes
While you hark, hark
Refrain:
Hark to the song of the night, sweetheart
Oh, hark to the song of the night
‘Tis a soft serenade and the words all are true
For they tell of my love and my longing for you
So, hark to the song of the night, sweetheart
And yield me your infinite charms
Lest the song die away, e’re you whisper
“I swear to stay forevermore in your arms”
