歌詞

The night has found its slowest tempo

And keeps it, one two three

The clock hands walk adagio

The lamp holds one long note

The teacup keeps a quiet beat

Against my sleepy throat

The pages turn on every third

Or fourth, or not at all

Slow, my heart, adagio

The hour is soft and deep

In peace I both lie down and dwell

The night is Yours to keep

The story sways between my hands

Its words begin to blur

The lamb breathes three-four time beside

A small and woolly purr

The lamplight pools like honey now

The dark is velvet-kind

Slow, my heart, adagio

The hour is soft and deep

In peace I both lie down and dwell

The night is Yours to keep

All evenings end adagio

If you let them have their way

The tempo of a closing book

The last sweet bars of day

Mmm... mmm... mmm

Slow, my heart, adagio

The hour is soft and deep

In peace I both lie down and dwell

The night is Yours to keep

Slow, my heart, adagio

The hour is soft and deep

In peace I both lie down and dwell

The night is Yours to keep

The night has found its slowest tempo

And I have found my rest
