[Verse]
Oh, the Gstars and the CSilvery Moon is sGhinin'
All around as the sweeG7tness of the SpDring
But I'm sGad and in lConeliness I'm pGinin'
For the G7one I know I'll Dnever see aGgain.
[Chorus]
How I Clong for the day when I shall mGeet her
If it be where the AnG7gels sweetly sDing
She is mGine and the thCought of her grows swGeeter
When it's tG7ime for the WhDippoorwill to sGing.
[Verse]
Then I Gleft with the tChought I'd be retGurning
Soon to her with the wG7ealth of joy I'Dd bring
I returneGd but too lCate and now I'm Gpinin'
She has G7gone and in loneDliness I'll Gsing.
[Chorus]
How I Clong for the day when I shall mGeet her
If it be where the AnG7gels sweetly sDing
She is mGine and the thCought of her grows swGeeter
When it's tG7ime for the WhDippoorwill to sGing.
[Verse]
I rememGber the night sChe made the promiGse
And those words said tG7o me great joy Ddid bring
I'll be tGrue and you Cknow you'll fiGnd me waiting
When it'G7s time for the WDhippoorwill Gto sing.
[Chorus]
How I Clong for the day when I shall mGeet her
If it be where the AnG7gels sweetly sDing
She is mGine and the thCought of her grows swGeeter
When it's tG7ime for the WhDippoorwill to sGing.
