-6 -6 7 7* 7 -6 8* 8
When or-chids bloom in the moon-light
8 8 8* -9* 9* 9 10
and lov-ers vow to be true,
-7* -7* 8 8* 8 -7* -10 10
I still can dream in the moon-light
9 9 9* -9* 9* 9 -10
Of one dear night that we knew.
-6 -6 7 7* 7 -6 8* 8
When or-chids fade in the dawn-ing,
8 8 8* -9* 9* 9 -10
They speak of tears and “good-bye!”
9* -9* -10 -9* 8* -7*
Tho’ my dreams are shat-tered
8 9* -9* 9* 8 7*
Like the pet-als scat-tered,
-7* 8 8* -7* 7 6 -6
Still my love can nev-er die.

There is peace in the twi-light,
-6 -7 8 8 8
When the day is thru,
-7* -7 -7* 8 -7* -7
But the shad-ows that fall
7* 7 7* -7
On-ly seem to
7 7 -6* -6 -6* 7 6 5
Re-call all my long-ing for you.
5 -7 7* -3* 7 -6 5
There’s a dream in the moon-beams,
-6 7 8 -10-10 -10
Up on the sea of blue;
-9 9* -9 10 -9 9*
But the moon-beams that fall,
9* 9 9* -9* 9* 8
On-ly seem to re-call,
5 -7 7* -3* 7 -6
Love is all, love is you.
