The sheet music:
Lyrics
1. When the shadows of twilight are falling
And the birds in the trees are at rest
With a smile of delight you go calling
On the dear little girl you love best
Hand in hand down the lane you are strolling
As happy as children at play
In some quiet nook, where no one can look
You press her sweet lips as you say
Refrain:
On a dreamy Summer’s night
With your own, your heart’s delight
Gazing into eyes you love
Vowing by the stars above
First a kiss, a fond caress
All is joy and happiness
The future seems so fair and bright
On a dreamy summer’s night
2. All day long of your sweetheart you’re thinking
And perhaps she is thinking of you
While the stars up above you are winking
And you’re building air castles for two
Then you’re off to a ball or a party
Or else in the hammock you swing
Don’t you think it nice, in Love’s Paradise
To sit close together and sing?
