The velvet night is soft and quiet... a pale moon smiles from down on high;
the wind is breathing through the trees... a gently rustling lullaby.
And you are oh, so far away... in spite of this, I could not see
that you were out of reach, my Love,
and we were never meant to be.

So, let me go to sleep; for when I sleep, I always dream of you;
no doubts... no fears to haunt me in the morning when the dreams undo;
I dream that you are here with me beneath these star-besprinkled skies;
I know it is a dream, but I don't care...
just let me close my eyes.

So I might go to sleep... and there, I'll see the face I long to touch...
to kiss; to drown deep in those eyes; those eyes that whisper... say so much
without the need to speak a single word... but only dreams bring this;
your Love is just a dream away;
and just a dream away...
your kiss.

The velvet night is soft and quiet... a pale moon smiles from down on high;
the wind is breathing through the trees... a gently rustling lullaby.
The pale moon drifts on through the night, smiling down so peacefully...
and when it smiles down on you when you dream...
perhaps, you'll dream of me.
