Lady Of The Lantern 1923 Victor Herbert

When the day bids farewell to the flowers
and soft evening shadows are near,
I welcome and greet the night hours
and long for my love to appear.
My love is a fantasy Princess,
a dream on a dim lantern shade,
I adore at her shrine
this dream girl of mine
and each night my love I serenade.

Lady of the lantern
lovely princess I yearn
to caress and hold you close unto my heart,
on my knees before you
dearest I adore you,
vision of my soul dear don't depart
perfume of the flowers
scent's this world of ours.
gleam for ever for me:
Let your lovelight glow
you're the one I sigh for
you're the one I die for
lady of the lantern
I love you so.

Lady of the lantern
lovely princess I yearn
to caress and hold you close unto my heart,
on my knees before you
dearest I adore you,
vision of my soul dear don't depart
perfume of the flowers
scent's this world of ours.
gleam for ever for me:
Let your lovelight glow
you're the one I sigh for
you're the one I die for
lady of the lantern
I love you so.
