Dear one, the world is waiting for the sunrise.
Ev'ry rose is covered with dew
And while the world is waiting for the sunrise
And my heart is calling you.

(instrumental break)

Dear one, the world is waiting for the sunrise.
Every little rose bud is covered with dew
And my heart is calling you
The thrush on high his sleepy mate is calling
And my heart is calling you.

WORLD IS WAITING FOR THE SUNRISE, THE (Vic Damone)


as recorded by Vac Damone


Down in the lazy west rides the moon,
Warm as a night in June.
Stars shimmering, soft in a bed of blue,
While I am calling and calling you.

Sweetly you are dreaming
As the dawn comes slowly streaming.
Making love in your bower,
Brief our trysting hour.

Dear one, the world is waiting for the sunrise,
Every rose is heavy with dew,
The thrush on high his sleepy mate is calling,
And my heart is calling you.

Dear one, the world is waiting for the sunrise,
And my heart is calling you.
