O Lovely Silver Moon

Silvery moon in the deep sky
Far away your light is seen
Over the world you wander wide
Peering into human dwellings

Over the world you wander wide
Peering into human dwellings

Oh moon, be still
Stay a while
Tell me, oh where is my darling?

Oh moon, be still!
Stay awhile
Tell me, oh tell me where is my darling?

Tell him, oh, tell him, my silver moon
Mine are the arms that would hold him
For a small while, yes, at least a little while
Tell him of me in his dream

For a small while, yes, a little while
Tell him of me in his dream

Light his path, show him the way
Light his way
Tell him, oh tell him
Who awaits him here

Light his path, show him the way
Light his way
Tell him, oh tell him
Who awaits him here!
