NIGHTINGALE
Xavier Cugat, George Rosner (m); Fred Wise (l)

as rec by Anne Shelton w Ambrose and His Orch (1942)


Nightingale
As I lie on my pillow
I can hear you in the willow
Singing love songs to the moon

Nightingale
I forget all my sorrow
As you serenade tomorrow
With a sentimental tune

My loved one
Must have sent you to cheer me
My loved one who is over the sea

Nightingale
Though the night seems unending
I can hear the love he's sending
On the wings of melody

Nightingale
Though the night seems unending
I can hear the love he's sending
On the wings of melody

'Til stars grow pale
Sing, nightingale
