Lyrics: (From the internet)
Here you are, here am I,
No moon in view, no star on high,
But it's a lovely night to spoon,
Let's pretend that there's a moon!
Nights like this were made for love,
Regardless of the moon above;
The time and place are opportune,
Let's pretend that there's a moon!
Poets like to tell about the spell of moonlight bliss,
And they weave it into every rhyme;
We don't need no moon above to tell us when to kiss,
Why should we be wastin' time?
Here are we, here is love,
Who cares if there is moon above?
Let's make believe that this is the month of June,
Oh baby, let's pretend that there's a moon!
Yes! Ah-ha! Hah!
Who is you growlin' at woman?
Oh you know, now now now baby, yes I know!
Scrap the dark, but you've gotta pretend there's a moon!
Yes yes yes!
Yes yes!
Love this kind of music,so much🙂pure love
Wonderful 🌜
His best side.
Wow, what a beautiful song. I might arrange this one for barbershop quartet.
Did you post this because of the new moon? It's too perfect!
Italian! the Best is better than Rudy Vallee!
