JUST A LITTLE LOVE, A LITTLE KISS
(Leo Silesu (m) / Adrian Ross (Eng. l) 1912)

Jeannette MacDonald (very early 1940s)

Also sung by:
John McCormack
Jan Peerce
And others...



When the phantom night of summer covers
Field and city with a veil of blue
All the lanes are full of straying lovers
Murmuring the words I say to you.

Just a little love, a little kiss
Just another tour of a world of bliss
Eyes that tremble like the stars above me
And the little word that says, you love me.

Just a little love, a little kiss
I would give you all my life for this
As I hold you fast, and bend above you
And I hear you whispering, I love you.

(bridge)

As I hold you fast, and bend above you
And I hear you whispering, I love you.
