[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
Every rose is heavy with dew
The thrush on high his sleepy mate is calling
And my heart is calling you
[Outro]
The world is waiting for you
For you, dear one
