Soft, she sings her song & sweetens the air Moaning like a turtle dove Longing for its pair A wing across the ocean Moonlight up above A voice to carry you there Please would you sing Just a little while Let me escape the passing of time No secret does she hold, that she would not share Jewels she knows are to give Not possess in fear You will find a ribbon Of gold in every song that you hear Please would you sing Just a little while Let me escape the passing of time
