Delaney Bailey - While My Lady Sleeps Lyrics

Delaney Bailey Lyrics

"While My Lady Sleeps"
(originally by Chet Baker)

The moon will rise, but all in vain
For there's no use in shining
While my lady sleeps

The breeze will sing a sad refrain
Because her heart is pining
While my lady sleeps

Starlight and moonlight, and amorous melody wasted
What can they mean when I'm yearning for kisses never tasted?

The night may hold a million dreams
But when her eyes discover, just a lonely lover
She will hurry on with a sigh to the dawn
While the willow tree weeps, and my lady sleeps

Starlight and moonlight, and amorous melody wasted
What can they mean when I'm yearning for kisses never tasted?

The night may hold a million dreams
But when her eyes discover, just a lonely lover
She will hurry on with a sigh to the dawn
While the willow tree weeps, and my lady sleeps
