The World Is Waiting for the Sunrise (1919 lyrics)[2]
Down in the lazy west rides the moon,
Warm as a night in June;
Stars shimm'ring soft in a bed of blue,
While I am calling and calling you.
Sweetly you are dreaming,
As the dawn comes slowly streaming;
Waken love in your bower,
Greet our trysting hour.
Dear one the world is waiting for the sunrise;
Ev'ry rose is heavy with dew.
The thrush on high, his sleepy mate is calling
And my heart is calling you!
"The World Is Waiting for the Sunrise" is a post-World War I popular song with lyrics by American actor Eugene Lockhart,[1] and music composed by Canadian-born[1] concert pianist Ernest Seitz in 1918. He later claimed he conceived the refrain when he was 12 years-old. Embarrassed about writing popular music, Seitz used the pseudonym "Raymond Roberts" when the song was published on January 24, 1919, by Chappell & Co. Ltd., London, UK.[7]
