[Verse 1]
Last night the pale moon was shining
Last night when all was still
I was wandering alone in sadness
Out among the woodland hills
I heard the birds a-singing
Out among the trees and hills
And all the birds, my darling
Were singing, were singing of you

[Chorus]
Were singing, singing of you (my love)
Were singing, were singing of you
And all the birds, my darling
Were singing, were singing of you

[Verse 2]
I think of you in the daytime
I dream of you by night
I wake and wish you was here, love
And tears are blinding my sight
The flowers that slumber so sweetly
The stars are above the blue
Oh, heaven itself, my darling
Is thinking, is thinking of you
[Chorus]

[Verse 3]
I opened my windows so gently
Looked out on the dreaming dew
And all the world, my darling
Was sighing, was sighing for you

[Chorus]
