I stand at the gate,

And the song that I sing is of moon-light;

I stand and I wait  
 
          E7           E6          C#7

    E -  Cdim     E  -F#m   Cdim      B7  B7/5+    E      B7/5+ 
The ro - ses are sigh-ing a moonlight ser - e - nade.

The stars are aglow,

And tonight how their light sets me dream-ing.
