I wish to let this dream stay at midnight,
When stars are shimmering in the blue sky;
As the moon watches over me so bright.
By the window I watch angels delight
In dancing among the clouds without sigh;
I wish to let this dream stay at midnight.
In ecstasy my mind takes sudden flight,
Dancing with angels in the clouds, but shy
As the moon watches over me so bright.
Nothing in my dream world is made of fright,
Angels close to me tell me not to cry;
I wish to let this dream stay at midnight.
Drifting slowly with clouds riding the night,
My mind seeks solace with clouds passing by;
As the moon watches over me so bright.
I clasp my hands in prayer in delight,
Seeking Almighty comfort, don’t know why;
I wish to let this dream stay at midnight,
As the moon watches over me so bright.
I wish to let this dream stay at midnight,
When stars are shimmering in the blue sky;
As the moon watches over me so bright.
By the window I watch angels delight
In dancing among the clouds without sigh;
I wish to let this dream stay at midnight.
In ecstasy my mind takes sudden flight,
Dancing with angels in the clouds, but shy
As the moon watches over me so bright.
Nothing in my dream world is made of fright,
Angels close to me tell me not to cry;
I wish to let this dream stay at midnight.
Drifting slowly with clouds riding the night,
My mind seeks solace with clouds passing by;
As the moon watches over me so bright.
I clasp my hands in prayer in delight,
Seeking Almighty comfort, don’t know why;
I wish to let this dream stay at midnight,
As the moon watches over me so bright.
