NIGHT WHEN LOVE WAS BORN, THE
Abel Baer / David Oppenheim / Young

as rec by Elsie Carlisle  1930's

also rec by Connie Boswell w The Dorsey Bros  Orch  1932


You took my lips and sprinkled them with twilight,
Oh what a night, the night that love was born!
You took my eyes and thrilled them with a June night;
I blessed the night, that night when love was born!

The trees did cover dawn beside a silver stream,
With leaves they covered us so we could dream and dream.
You took my heart and dipped it in the moonlight,
That wondrous night, the night when love was born!

Just one Summer night of tenderness
Made a lonely heart confess
Of a love divine.
Just one Summer night meant happiness,
That was when I whispered, "Yes!",
And it made you mine!

The trees did cover dawn beside a silver stream,
With leaves they covered us so we could dream and dream.
You took my heart and dipped it in the moonlight,
That wondrous night, the night when love was born!
