DONNELLY, Dorothy

Serenade

Overhead, the moon is beaming

White as blossoms on the bough

Nothing is heard but the song of a bird

Filling all the air with dreaming

Could I hear this song forever

Calling to my heart anew, my Darling

While I drift along forever

Lost in a dream of you

I hear your voice in the wind that stirs the willows

I see your face in the stars that shine above

(Hold me closer, tonight we love)

The willows bending, the stars that shine

The shore lights blending, they're yours and mine

Drifting along, in my heart there's a song

And the song in my heart will not fade

Oh, hear my serenade, my moonlight serenade

Overhead, the moon is beaming

White as blossoms on the bough

Nothing is heard but the song of a bird

Filling all the air with dreaming

Could this beauty last forever

I would ask for nothing more, believe me

Let this night but live forever

Forever and ever more
