Glow Worm

(Verse 1)
When the night falls silently
The night falls silently on forests dreaming
Lovers wander forth to see
They wander forth to see the bright stars gleaming

And lest they should lose their way
Lest they should lose their way, the glow worms nightly
Light their tiny lanterns gay
Light their tiny lanterns gay and twinkle brightly

Here and there and everywhere
From mossy dell and hollow
Floating, gliding through the air
They call on us to follow

(Chorus)
Shine, little glow worm, glimmer
Shine, little glow worm, glimmer
Lead us, lest to far we wander
Love's sweet voice is calling yonder

Shine, little glow worm, glimmer
Shine, little glow worm, glimmer
Light the path below, above
Lead us on to love

Shine, little glow worm, glimmer
Shine, little glow worm, glimmer
Lead us, lest to far we wander
Love's sweet voice is calling yonder

Shine, little glow worm, glimmer
Shine, little glow worm, glimmer
Light the path below, above
Lead us on to love

(Verse 2)
Little glow worm, tell me, pray
Tell me, pray, how did you kindle
Lamps that by the break of day
That by the break of day must fade and dwindle?

Ah, this secret, by your leave
This secret, by your leave, is worth the learning
When true lovers come at eve
True lovers come at eve, their hearts are burning

Glowing cheeks and lips betray
How sweet the kisses tasted
Till we steal the fire away
For fear, lest it be wasted

(Chorus)
Shine, little glow worm, glimmer
Shine, little glow worm, glimmer
Lead us, lest to far we wander
Love's sweet voice is calling yonder

Shine, little glow worm, glimmer
Shine, little glow worm, glimmer
Light the path below, above
Lead us on to love

Shine, little glow worm, glimmer
Shine, little glow worm, glimmer
Lead us, lest to far we wander
Love's sweet voice is calling yonder

Shine, little glow worm, glimmer
Shine, little glow worm, glimmer
Light the path below, above
Lead us on to love
