Rest well my dear,

Close your eyes and dream.

Dream that we are far from here;

Of a world where love is near.

Oh how lovely that would seem!

 

Rest here my dear,

Spend the night beside me.

Sleep awhile with me here

In this lovely atmosphere.

Why ought we be lonely, 

 

When we have each other?

Rest well my dear,

Do not treat me as a stranger

Or some ordinary flower

But keep me as thy lover, dear.

 

Now as the stars shine bright and clear

Linger till our love is gone,

Or at least until the dawn.

Sleep awhile with me near

And feel the night pass on.

 

Dream with me, here and now;

Rest well my dear, until tomorrow
