MOONGLOW

It must have been moonglow

way up in the blue,

it must have been moonglow

that led me straight to you.

I still hear you saying

`dear one, hold me fast`

and I start in praying

oh Lord, please let this last.

We seemed to float right through the air,

heavenly songs seem to come from everywhere.

And now when there`s moonglow

way up in the blue

I always remember

that moonglow gave me you.

- Written By Will Hudson, Eddie DeLange & Irving Mills
