It was a lovely setting
NIght and a thousand charms
How could we help forgetting
I held you in my arms.

In the spirit of the moment
When the moon was dim and low
We were near it for a moment
And we felt aglow.

With the start of a dream
Never-ending
Then we knew we were through
Through with pretending.

In the spirit of the moment
In the melody of XXXX
We were near it for a moment
And we felt aglow.

With the start of a dream
Never ending
In the spirit of the moment
Your heart was mine.

Durbin hums
