La, La, the Night

The road divides and I must choose
Should I turn left or right
Or neither? I go straight ahead
Into the starlit night,

Go up some stars to sit upon
A tiny crescent moon
I close my eyes, do not look down
And hear a nursery tune

La, la, I sing, la, la, I swing
As time goes sailing by
La, la, the stars, la, la, the moon
La, la, the night and I.
