Wonderland By Night

Beside the lake’s a little park Where I will go when it is dark To sit beneath the lamplight’s glow Upon a bench to watch the show As twilight fills the evening hours Amidst the garden’s sleeping flowers The moon casts down its mellow light To form a wonderland by night Just a few have had the chance To see the park in moonlit dance Only the dreamers such as I And lovers who may happen by The gently flowing summer breeze Caresses boughs upon the trees Then as the branches softly sway Their shadows leap about in play They dance along the pathways where The fireflies will join them there To scatter bits of sparkling light Among the blossoms deep and bright While waters of the fountains flow The nightingale sings soft and low It’s beautiful romantic call Will serenade the starlight ball The lilting melody plays on Until the early light of dawn Then as the sun begins to break It sparkles softly o’er the lake So join me here beside the shore The bench can always hold one more Then we will share a special sight And watch this wonderland by night
