‘Hold Back the Night’
Hold back the night and wait,
Don’t bring up the dawn
Stay the hand at the hour,
Lest you leave
Worlds revolve through the heavens,
The moon bathes the earth with its glow
The stars fill the skies with light,
So stay with me
Don’t leave with the sunrise,
Don’t end the dreaming in the night
Stay close to my heart, my sweet,
And love me
Mary Cecil

Don’t leave with the sunrise,
Don’t end the dreaming in the night
Stay close to my heart, my sweet,
