Quickly comes the darkness,
O'er my world so bright,
The shining of my sun,
Devoured by the night,

Come moon, come stars to save me,
Relieve me of this my plight,
And twinkle in the heavens,
Please give me precious sight,,,

This darkness that surrounds me,
Precedes the coming dawn,
But to live one night without you,
Seems forever much too long,

Yet the wonders of the heavens,
And the beauty they comprise,
The best of all God's treasures,
Is the sparkle in your eyes...
