Lyrics
Night is falling o’er the meadows
Birds are calling from the shadows so deep
‘Tis the hour when each flower
In the bower has gone to sleep
And it finds me sad and lonely
It reminds me, one thing only I miss
‘Tis the pleasure naught could measure
‘Tis my treasure of treasures, dear kiss
Just one caress! only a kiss
Come in dreams bringing me this
In my arms linger a while
Only a kiss, dear, a kiss and a smile
Soon the evening star up in the blue
Will brightly glow
And where’er you are ’twill say to you
“I love you so”
Somewhere tonight you may be watching its light
To learn the message my heart sends to you
Won’t you give the star a little word to give to me?
Send it from a-far, a little word of sympathy
Think how I miss your sunny smile and dear kiss
And tell the star just to tell me you’re true
Night is falling o’er the meadows
Birds are calling from the shadows so deep
‘Tis the hour when each flower
In the bower has gone to sleep
And it finds me sad and lonely
It reminds me, one thing only I miss
‘Tis the pleasure naught could measure
‘Tis my treasure of treasures, dear kiss
