The World Is Waiting for the Sunrise

(Verse)
Down in the lazy west rides the moon
Warm as a night in June
Stars shimmering soft in a bed of blue
While I am calling and calling you
Sweetly you are dreaming
As the dawn comes slowly streaming;
Waken love in your bower
Greet our trysting hour

(Chorus)
Dear one, the world is waiting for the sunrise
Ev'ry rose is heavy with dew
The thrush on high his sleepy mate is calling
And my heart is calling you

(instrumental break)

Dear one, the world is waiting for the sunrise
Ev’ry rose is heavy with dew
The thrush on high his sleepy mate is calling
And my heart is calling you
