A Kiss Goodnight

Oh, how the wind's song gives a kiss goodnight! Gentle breezes in my face leave me weak. Whistling words of love hold me 'til dawn's light... Summer winds soften starry skies once bright. I climb rustling trees. Love, windblown, I seek. Oh, how the wind's song gives a kiss goodnight! Love's worth the battle. Through gusts, I shall fight! Tho' whispering winds bring love soft and meek. Whistling, words of love hold me 'til dawn's light... Come forth again! The silence is my plight. In the wind's absence, tomorrow seems bleak. Oh, how the wind's song gives a kiss goodnight! Gentle breezes raise romance to new height. The warm southwinds soothe. Enamoured, I speak. Whistling words of love, hold me 'til dawn's light... Stay, my dear friend, you lift me like a kite. Carry my soul higher than mountain peaks. Oh, how the wind's song gives a kiss goodnight... Whistling words of love, hold me 'til dawn's light!
