Shades of night are creeping

"Tip toe thru the tulips with me"

Shades of night are creeping,
Willow trees are weeping.
Old folks and babies are sleeping;
Silver stars are gleaming.
All alone I'm scheming,
Scheming to get you out here, my dear, come
Come on out and pet me,
Come and "Juliet" me,
Tease me and slyly "coquette" me.
Let me Romeo you, I just want to show you,
How much I'm willing to do for you, come:

Tip toe to the window, by the window,
That is where I'll be, come
Tip toe thru the tulips with me.
Tip toe from your pillow,
To the shadow of the willow tree,
And tip toe thru the tulips with me.
Knee deep in flowers we'll stray,
We'll keep the showers away;
And if I kiss you in the garden,
In the moonlight, will you pardon me,
Come tip toe thru the tulips with me.
