THEY CAN’T BLACK OUT THE MOON 
(Dale/M/S)
Harry Roy & Helen Clare - 1939     
              

When we go strolling in the park at night
All the darkness is a boon
Who cares if we’re without a light
They can’t black out the moon

I see you smiling in the cigarette glow
Though the picture fades too soon
But I see all I want to know
They can’t black out the moon

We don’t grumble, we don’t worry about a lot
Oh, when will you stumble, you stumble into my arms
And when you kiss me, don’t you realise
That my heart’s like a big balloon          
And like the lovelight in your eyes
They can’t black out the moon
