While My Lady Sleeps

The moon will rise, but all in vain
For there's no use in its shining
While my lady sleeps
The breeze will sing a sad refrain
Because her heart is pining
While my lady sleeps

Starlight and moonlight, an amorous melody wasted
What can they mean when I'm yearning
For kisses never tasted?

The night may hold a million dreams
But when her eyes discover just a lonely lover
She will hurry on with a sigh to the dawn
While the willow tree weeps and my lady sleeps

Starlight and moonlight, an amorous melody wasted
What can they mean when I'm yearning
For kisses never tasted?

The night may hold a million dreams
But when her eyes discover just a lonely lover
She will hurry on with a sigh to the dawn
While the willow tree weeps and my lady sleeps
