 Dear one, the world is waiting for the sunrise.

 Ev'ry rose is covered with dew

 And while the world is waiting for the sunrise

 And my heart is calling you.

 

 (instrumental break)

 

 Dear one, the world is waiting for the sunrise.

 Every little rose bud is covered with dew

 And my heart is calling you

 The thrush on high his sleepy mate is calling

 And my heart is calling you.
