as recorded by Lee Morse (vocal & guitar)  August 1926


Once more we meet,
You look so sweet,
Dear, can't you see how I feel?
I love you still,
I always will,
You have the same old appeal!

Though you belong to somebody else,
Tonight you belong to me!
Though we're apart,
You're part of my heart,
Tonight you belong to me!

Down by the stream,
How sweet it will seem,
A world more to dream in the moonlight.
Though it's the dawn,
I know you'll be gone;
Tonight you belong to me!

Though you belong to somebody else,
Tonight you belong to me!
Though we're apart,
You're part of my heart,
Tonight you belong to me!

Oh, down by the stream,
How sweet it will seem,
A world more to dream in the moonlight.
And though it's the dawn,
I know you'll be gone;
Tonight you belong to me!

TONIGHT YOU BELONG TO ME

as recorded by
Patience & Prudence - 1956


I know (I know)
you belong  
to somebody new
but tonight 
you belong to me

Although (Although)
we're apart
your part 
of my heart
and tonight 
you belong to me.

Way down by the stream
how sweet it will seem
once more just to dream 
in the moonlight.

My honey I know (I know)
with the dawn
that you will be gone
but tonight you belong to me

Way down, way down, 
along the stream
how very very sweet 
it will seem
once more just to dream 
in the silvery moonlight.

My honey I know
with the dawn
that you will be gone
but tonight you belong to me.
Just to little old me.
