Stillness in the grove, not a rustling sound Softly shines the moon clear and bright. Dear, if you could know how I treasure so This most beautiful Moscow night. Dear, if you could know how I treasure so This most beautiful Moscow night.
Lazily the brook, like a silv'ry stream Ripples gently in the moonlight, And a song afar fades as in a dream, In the spell of this summer night. And a song afar fades as in a dream, In the spell of this summer night.
Dearest, why so sad, why the downcast eyes, And your lovely head bent so low? Oh, it's hard to speak---and yet not to speak Of the longing my heart does know. Oh, it's hard to speak---and yet not to speak Of the longing my heart does know.
Promise me, my love, as the dawn appears And the darkness turns into light, That you'll cherish, dear, thru the passing years This most beautiful Moscow night. That you'll cherish, dear, thru the passing years This most beautiful Moscow night.
