HANG OUT THE STARS
(Jack Lawrence)
The Bell Sisters - 1952
Hang out the stars
Light up the moon
Warm up the breeze
Strike up the tune
Wake up the birds
A lark and a dove
The scene must be right
For tonight
Yes tonight’s
The night for love
Hear the soft duet
See the silhouette
Of the dancers
And romancers
On the distant shore
There’s a troubadour
And his melody
Is meant for you and me
At first, our fingertips meet
And then, at last, our lips meet
And when, at last, our lips meet
The kiss is so sweet
Two hearts skip a beat
Hang out the stars
Light up the moon
Send down the mist
On the lagoon
Wake up the dreams
We’re dreaming of
The scene must be right
For tonight
Yes tonight’s
The night for love
(Orchestral Break)
Hang out the stars
Light up the moon
Warm up the breeze
Strike up the tune
Wake up the birds
A lark and a dove
The scene must be right
For tonight
Yes tonight’s
The night for love
Hang out the stars
Moon high above
My love, hold me tight
Hold me tight
For tonight’s the night for love
