ONE WONDERFUL NIGHT
(Words by E. Clinton Keithley, Joe Lyons / Music by Clarence M. Jones, 1914)


From afar in the sky stars were gleaming the moon softly shone from above, 
happy was I in my dreaming, happy in dreams of love; 
in your eyes then the lovelight was beaming, yearning was my heart for thee, 
clasped in your arms "One Wonderful Night" You told me you loved me.

Seems I hear in the twilight your calling, I watch, dear, and wait there for you, 
softly like dew that is falling, comes back a love we knew; 
then I know by the throb of my heart, dear, just why I'm longing for thee, 
I can't forget "One Wonderful night" You told me you loved me.

Love me, love me again, won't you love me again? 
My heart's yearning, I'm lonely, I love, love you only; 
dreaming, dreaming of you, always dreaming of you, 
take me back once again, dear, to "One wonderful night."
