When stars appear, I seem to hear a serenade I watch the moon, and then my tune is softly played The music thrills and gently fills my heart with bliss I hear the theme and want to dream and reminisce I close my eyes 'neath the blanket of indigo skies And my serenade sighs like a breeze from heaven above Even at dawn, when the stars and the moonlight have gone My refrain lingers on, like a memory of love The love has flown, and I'm always alone I'm not afraid I'll always keep my dreamy, my sleepy serenade I like to dream, a sleeping serenade and dream my life away To a dreamy sleepy serenade
