DANCING IN THE MOONLIGHT
(Walter Donaldson / Gus Kahn)


Ruth Etting - 1933



I'm dancing in the moonlight
Underneath the stars
Singing little love songs
To my ba-a-a-by

Dancing in the moonlight
Sighing little sighs
Looking for the lovelight
Right in my baby's eyes

Dancing in a corner
Steal a little kiss
Get a little closer
To my ba-a-a-by

Give a boy a June night
Give a girl a song
They'll be dancing in the moonlight
All night long

I don't care what the day may bring
If the birds won't sing and bells won't ring
If the night will bring a moon, a tune and you

I don't care where the place may be
If there's room for you and there's room for me
And there's room enough to dance
I'll always take a chance

Dancing in the moonlight
Underneath the stars
Singing little love songs
To my pretty ba-a-a-by

Dancing in the moonlight
Sighing little sighs
Looking for the lovelight
Right in my baby's eyes

Dancing in a corner
Steal a little kiss
Get a little closer
To my ba-a-a-by

Give a boy a June night
And give a girl a song
They'll be dancing in the moonlight
All night long
