Charlotte's Music

Barcarolle

from the album 'Charlotte Church'

Night of stars, and night of love,
Fall gently o'er the waters,
Heav'n around, below. Above,
No more we'll heed tile shore!
Floating thus in silver light,
Sing on! Oh earth's fair daughters,
Love had ne'er an hour so bright,
In fabled days of yore.
The cadenc'd oar will rhyme
To the measure we sing,
Till even charmed Time,
Fold a moment his wing.
Wander on!
Till the dawns Ah!
Night of stars, and night of love,
I gently o'er the watery,
Heav'n around, below, above,
No more we'll heed the shore.
Night of stars, and night of love,
'er the wakers!
Ah! Gently fall o'er the waters
Heav'n around, below, above!
Ah! Ah!
