PIANISSIMO
(Bennie Benjamin / George Weiss)

as recorded by Perry Como
with Russ Case & his Orchestra
October 14th 1947 New York


The melody was played "pianissimo",
The harmony was so very sweet;
I can't remember the name of that song,
But I do remember dancing in your arms!

And then a voice came through "pianissimo",
With lovely words that seemed to repeat.
I love you darlin', but all I recall
Are the words you whispered dancing in my arms.

"Pianissimo" means "soft and low",
And soft and low were your sighs.
Darling, now I know that tender glow
Was love shining in your eyes!

And then we stole away "piannissimo",
And kissed goodnight while stars danced above.
I can't remember the name of that song,
But I do recall it helped us fall in love!

And then we stole away "piannissimo",
And kissed goodnight while stars danced above.
I can't remember the name of that song,
But I do recall it helped us fall in love!
