I LOVE TO WATCH THE MOONLIGHT
Joseph Myrow / Bickley Reichner

as rec by Helen O'Connell w Jimmy Dorsey & his Orch   
May 10th 1940 New York


I love to watch the moonlight
With arms about you,
And right from the start,
Your love in my heart!
This sunny afternoon light
I know wouldn't do,
So darling please don't run out
On my heart tonight.

I love to watch the moonlight,
Long after the dance,
Come over the hill,
I get such a thrill!
With you a March or June night
Is good for romance,
Let's put our lips together,
Give romance a chance!

Love can be so intense,
I touch your hand and feel my heart grow immense!
Your lips I adore,
I guess because I love you just a bit more than others before!

A sentimental tune might
Be thrilling to sing
While watching the stars,
Especially ours!
Your eyes are filled with moonlight,
My heart filled with Spring,
I love to watch the moonlight,
So to thee I cling!
