Moonlight Serenade

I stand at your gate,

and the song that I sing is of moonlight.

I stand, and I wait

for the touch of your hand in the June night.

The roses are sighing

a moonlight serenade.



The stars are aglow,

and tonight, how their light sets me dreaming.

My love, do you know

that your eyes are like stars brightly beaming?

I bring you, and I sing you

a moonlight serenade.



Let us stay till break of day

in love's valley of dreams.

Just you and I, a summer sky,

a heavenly breeze, kiss in the trees.



So don't let me wait-

come to me tenderly in the June night.

I stand at your gate

and I sing you a song in the moonlight.

A love song, my darling-

a moonlight serenade.
