Before the morning comes, will I hear your song
Come little nightingale, I wonżt be here for long
When youżre up there flying, do you care
If thereżs no one else aroundż
When your lover leaves you in the air
Do you waver, do you fallż
Now while the moon is high
Shall we, nightingale,
Duet all through the night
A pair of souls for sale
Stars cluster glistening
Captive till the dawn
Patiently listening
Theyżve heard it all before
Should I stay here or should I goż
I couldnżt bear to be alone
Was it really love I sawż
Oh, now Iżll never know
What is this I hearż
I recognise that song
Sweet little nightingale I knew youżd come along
Soon when the morning comes.
We will both be gone
So sing pretty nightingale
Lead, Iżll follow on.
