Verse 1:

Twilight comes swinging out of the skies,
Night winds are singing their lullabies;
Music brings romance, that's what it's played for,
That's what the night is made for;

Chorus:

In my song of love,
The moon above
Makes the music,
The words are in my heart.
My lips may be afraid
To serenade
You tonight
But, the words are in my heart.
Roses red, in rhythm are swaying,
And like my heart, they're tenderly saying:
"My dear, I love you so,"
And even though
I can't say it,
The words are in my heart.

Verse 2 (from British sheet music):

Moonrays are beaming down on our love,
Starlights are gleaming way up above;
Night is so tender, what can I say, dear?
Could I but find a way, dear;
