While My Lady Sleeps

While My Lady Sleeps - Geoff Gascoyne/Georgie Fame/Derek Nash/Dick Pearce

The Moon will rise but all in vain

For there's no use in shining

While my baby sleeps

The breeze will sing a sad refrain

Because her heart is pining

While my baby sleeps

Starlight and moonlight

And amorous melodies wasted

What can they mean

When I'm yearning for kisses never tasted

The night may hold a million dreams

But when her eyes discover

Just a lonely lover

She will hurry on

With a sigh to the dawn

While the willow tree weeps

And my baby sleeps

Starlight and moonlight

And amorous melodies wasted

What can they mean

When I'm yearning for kisses never tasted

The night may hold a million dreams

But when her eyes discover

Just a lonely lover

She will hurry on

With a sigh to the dawn

While the willow tree weeps

And my baby sleeps
