IN THE MOONLIGHT WITH THE GIRL YOU LOVE
(Edward Stanley)

Harry Macdonough - 1905


There's a time for everything, you've oft' heard people say
That's the reason Cupid does so little work by day
He's a foxy fellow, though he likes his little larks
And he thinks the fires of love should not be lit 'til dark

So if you ever fall in love, remember what I say
When the sun is high above, love's game you'll n'er to play
Wait until the moon is up, then take your lady fair
Off into the moonlight, you can win her there

In the moonlight, mellow moonlight 
While the stars watch from above
In the moonlight, silvery moonlight
In the moonlight with the girl you love

In the moonlight, mellow moonlight 
While the stars watch from above
In the moonlight, silvery moonlight
In the moonlight with the girl you love
