Lyrics

1. Across the dusk of evening gray
The dream ships float at close of day
And bear us forth across the deep
To Starlight-Land, the land of sleep
And there, in dreams by the silver sand
We feel the clasp of a vanished hand
And o’er the tide the low winds sigh
As once they did, in days gone by
And o’er the tide the low winds sigh
As once they did in days gone by

Refrain
Oh Starlight-Land, Oh Starlight-Land
When shall we see your silver strand?
The dreaming past, the waiting o’er
Our hearts at rest, for evermore
Oh Starlight-Land, Oh Starlight-Land
When shall we see your silver strand?
The dreaming past, the waiting o’er
Our hearts at rest, for evermore

2. Across the tide of silent night
We drift in dreams to reach the light
To meet again, on that far shore
The hearts we loved in days of yore
And sweeter far than the radiant skies
The tender light of our loved ones’ eyes
‘Till o’er the deep the dawn-tide gleams
To bring us back from the land of dreams
‘Till o’er the deep the dawn-tide gleams
To bring us back from the land of dreams

Refrain
Oh Starlight-Land, Oh Starlight-Land
When shall we see your silver strand?
The dreaming past, the waiting o’er
Our hearts at rest, for evermore
Our hearts at rest, for evermore
Our hearts at rest, for evermore
