When it's Time For the Whip-Poor-Will to Sing

歌詞

Oh the stars and the silver moon is shining All around is the sweetness of the spring But I'm sad and in loneliness I'm pining For the one I know I'll never see again How I long for the day when I shall see her If it be where the angels sweetly sing She is mine and the thought of her grows sweeter When it's time for the whippoorwill to sing When I left with the thought I'd be returning Soon to her with the wealth and joy I'd bring I returned but too late and now I'm yearning She is gone and in loneliness I sing I remember the night she made the promise And these words said to me great joy did bring I'll be true and you know you'll find me waiting When it's time for the whippoorwill to sing
