Did I see moonlight and magnolia trees?
Smile again my darling, if you please.
Did I hear music on a warm Spring Breeze?
Smile again my darling, if you please.


Did I feel cool September rain just then?
If you please, touch my cheek with your hand again.
When you are near me, I can dream with ease,
And I'm yours my darling, if you please.
