Madonna mine, the nightingales are singing
Madonna mine a song of love they're bringing
And it seems fate must have planned a night like this
When sweet dreams end with a kiss, dear
Madonna mine in this last hour together
We'll plan the wondrous things we mean to do
Gladness will take the place of sadness
Madonna mine when I return to you

MADONNA MINE
As recorded by Al Bowlly

Here in the magic of the moonlight
Only your eyes, for me, can shine
Someday when skies are grey
I'll dream of the tender way you smiled, Madonna mine
There's such a little time to tell you
Millions of things I want to say
All I can think of is that I love you
Love you night and day

Madonna mine, the nightingales are singing
Madonna mine a song of love they're bringing
And it seems fate must have planned a night like this
When sweet dreams end with a kiss, oh my dear
Madonna mine in this last hour together
We'll plan the wondrous things we mean to do
Then Gladness will take the place of sadness
Madonna mine when I return to you

Then Gladness will take the place of sadness
Madonna mine when I return to you
