Moonlight On A White Picket Fence
Bing Crosby · Other Songs - Bing Crosby
There was starlight in your eyes,
So I kissed you, and your lips were a sweet surprise!
There was moonlight on a white picket fence,
And it dared my hopeful heart,
So I kissed you, and I'm sure I heard music start!
Yes, I kissed you, you've forgotten,
You had another scheme.
May I say I remember,
It was well worth a dream!
If I'm lonely for the thrill of your lips
And your arms that held me tight,
Well, there's moonlight on a white picket fence tonight!
Yes, I kissed you, you've forgotten,
You had another scheme.
May I say I remember,
It was well worth a dream!
If I'm lonely for the thrill of your lips
And your arms that held me tight,
Well, there's moonlight on a white picket fence tonight!
