Love Me Tonight

I like this romantic tune; I like to listen to it with Bing Crosby and Frank Trumbauer, but it’s not too bad either to sing and play it. Victor Young composed it, and Bing and Ned Washington made up the lyrics:

Oh, what a night for sweethearts,
Stars in the sky above
This is our chance for sweet romance,
Let’s make this a night of love.


Here we are together,
The moon is hangin' low,
There’s magic in its silv'ry light.
It seems to say the time is right
Love Me Tonight.

Life is so uncertain,
And no one seems to know,
How long we have to linger on
Tomorrow we may both be gone,
Love Me Tonight.

Oh! let me feel your arms,
And let me feel your kiss,
Then if this great big world must end,
Oh! let it end like this!

My lips are yours for ever,
My heart is in your hands,
My love is yours to have, to hold,
Don’t wait until the moon is old,
Love Me Tonight!
