Twilight is falling in fair Italy Stars kiss the sky Night stealing near like a soft melody Bids day goodbye There as I lingered long Entered my heart this song Oh, nights of splendour Your charms so tender Make love surrender Till stars are gone Gay nights of laughter Though tears come after Love regrets, love forgets When comes the dawn Serenaders sleeping Of thee, dear, keeping When stars are weeping As they depart Dawn bells are pealing While night is stealing To its nest, love to rest Within my heart
