Lyrics

1. There is quiet on the hillside
   There are shadows black and long
   But the moon swings low and golden
   And the night is full of song
   In your hair the night wind whispers
   On your cheeks the roses glow
   For the lanes are sweet with summer
   And the moon swings low

Refrain
When the moon swings low-o-o-o
And the fireflies glow-o-o-o
Let’s go down where the roses grow
Shining with dew, sweet, just like you
We will dream the old dream, ever new
Promise me that you’ll always be true
Don’t forget, dear, like some girlies do
When the moon swings low

2. There’s a path among the roses
   And the lane is long and sweet
   And the moon shines big and golden
   On the sleepy fields of wheat
   In the silence of the moonlight
   We will let the whole world go
   For the winds of night are calling
   And the moon swings low
