The velvet night is soft and quiet...
a pale moon smiles from down on high;
the wind is breathing through the trees...
a gently rustling lullaby.
And you are oh, so far away...
in spite of this, I could not see
that you were out of reach, my Love,
and we were never meant to be.

So, let me go to sleep;
for when I sleep, I always dream of you;
no doubts... no fears to haunt me
in the morning,
when the dreams undo;
I dream that you are here with me
beneath these star-besprinkled skies;
I know it is a dream, but I don't care...
just let me close my eyes.

So I might go to sleep... and there,
I'll see the face I long to touch...
to kiss; to drown deep in those eyes;
those eyes that whisper...
say so much
without the need to speak a single word...
but only dreams bring this;
your Love is just a dream away;
and just a dream away...
your kiss.

The velvet night is soft and quiet...
a pale moon smiles from down on high;
the wind is breathing through the trees...
a gently rustling lullaby.
The pale moon drifts on through the night,
smiling down so peacefully...
and when it smiles down on you, when you dream...
perhaps, you'll dream of me.
