[be]
In the hush of the night I am blue,
And I long for the light, awaiting you.
First you're here, then you're there, like a dream;
Why can't things really be what they seem?

In the darkness, when we are apart,
Every cloud seems to crowd into my heart.
With you near all my world would be bright,
Like a song, every wrong would turn to right!
Darling one, when the sun dims her light,
Come to me in the hush of the night.

[ho'c]
In the hush of the night I am blue,
And I long for the light, awaiting you.
First you're here, then you're there, like a dream;
Why can't things really be what they seem?

In the darkness, when we are apart,
Every cloud seems to crowd into my heart.
With you near all my world would be bright,
Like a song, every wrong would turn to right!
Darling one, when the sun dims her light,
Come to me in the hush of the night.
