All through the night there's va little brown bird singing,
Singing in the hush of the darkness and the dew,
Singing in the hush of the darkness and the dew.
Would that his song through the stillness could go winging,
Could go a-winging to you, to you.

All through the night time my lonely heart is singing,
Singing in the hush of the darkness and the dew,
Sweeter songs of love than the brown bird ever knew.
Would that my song through the stillness could go winging,
Could go a-winging to you, to you.

All through the night time my lonely heart is singing,
Sweeter songs of love than the brown bird ever knew.
