TONIGHT I KISSED YOU
(Goodhart / Heneker)

as recorded by Anne Shelton
with Stanley Black & his Orchestra
1944


It happened down in Lover's Lane,
Just a little while ago;
It happened down in Lover's Lane,
Darling, didn't you know?

Tonight I kissed you,
I leaned across and kissed you,
I leaned across three thousand miles of sea!
Tonight I found you,
I found my arms around you,
I held you, dear, as close as close could be!

I heard you say you love me still,
You always would and you always will!
Two hearts aflame
Receive the same old thrill!

Tonight I kissed you,
I leaned across and kissed you,
I leaned across three thousand miles of sea!

I heard you say you love me still,
You always would and you always will!
Two hearts aflame
Receive that same old thrill!

Tonight I kissed you,
I leaned across and kissed you,
I leaned across three thousand miles of sea!
