KEEP YOUR LAST GOODNIGHT FOR ME
(Fred Ahlert / Roy Turk)
Al Bowlly - 1932
Henry Hall & His Orch. (vocal: Les Allen)
One, two, three, four, Dear, it's very late
And the party soon will be no more
Tell your friends, Dear, everything was great
I'll be waiting in the garden for you
Bid everyone goodnight, but I beg of you
Keep your last goodnight for me
I want to say goodnight walking home with you
Where the moon alone can see.
You say there isn't any other
Then won't you let me take you home to Mother
Bid everyone goodnight, but when you are through
Keep your last goodnight for me
