Tonight You Belong To Me
Kay Starr · Other Songs - Kay Starr
You belong, to somebody new
But Tonight you belong to me
Although (Although)
We're apart, your part of my heart
And tonight you belong to me
Way down by the stream
How sweet it will seem
Once more just to dream
In the moonlight
My honey I know
With the dawn that you will be gone
But tonight you belong to me
Way down way down along the stream
How very very sweet it will seem
Once more just to dream in the silvery moonlight
My honey I know
With the dawn that you will be gone
But tonight you belong to me
Just to little old me
