Shades Of Night
Composer(s): L. Wolfe Gilbert; Anatol Friedland; Malvin Franklin



When all nature goes to sleep 
Master Cupid starts to peep
love chimes ringing love's sweet song 
happy hours, for the birds and flowers
time for love is drawing near 
mating time is her
now that day is done, two hearts beat as one 
while the moon and stars appear

Hark to the songs of the whippoor wills
while the sun sets over the hills touch of nature makes all kin
hearts are filled with pleasure every lover's treasure
children close their drowsy eyes, dew falls from the skies
seems from everywhere, sweethearts here and there, life's a dream of Paradise

Shades of night are falling, hear the love birds calling from trees above
sweethearts silhouetting, time and care forgetting, in the spell of love 
Twinkle, twinkle little love star, twinkle while the moon beams with delight
nighttime casting shadows over golden meadows love time comes with shades of night
