In the Starlight Lyrics

Lyrics by J.E. Catpenter

In the starlight, in the starlight
let us wander gay and free
For there’s nothing in the daylight
Half so dear to you and me.

Like the fairies in the shadow
Of the woods, we’ll steal along
And our sweetest lays we’ll warble
For the night was made for song

When none are by to listen
Or to chide us in our glee
In the starlight, in the starlight
Let us wander gay and free

In the starlight, in the starlight
Let us wander, let us wander
In the starlight in the starlight
Let us wander gay and free

In the starlight, in the starlight
At the daylight’s dewy close
When the nightingale is singing
His last love song to the rose

In the calm, clear light of summer
When the breezes softly play
From the glitter of our dwelling
We will gently steal away

Where the silvery waters murmur
By the margin of the sea
In the starlight, in the starlight
We will wander gay and free

In the starlight, in the starlight
We will wander, we will wander
In the starlight in the starlight
We will wander gay and free

From These Happy Golden Years
