3rd Dance-Land Piano Selection - 1936

Dr. Pitt-Payne in London UK 15 Aug 2001

In the middle of a kiss
Suddenly it dawned on me
In the middle of a kiss
I knew you were mine
In the middle of a sweet embrace
That you at first resented
Remember how surprised you were
To find we really meant it?
In the middle of a sigh
We stumbled into Paradise
In the twinkle of an eye
We lost it again
For we didn't comprehend
That our dream of love would end
Just the way it began
In the middle of a kiss.

Keep your fingers crossed
Don't forget to keep your fingers crossed
'Cause you know, my baby,
I'd be lost if anything happened to you.
Watch out day and night,
Get up ev'ry morning on the right.
Three upon a match you mustn't light
Or something might happen to you.
When you're passing a load of hay
Always make a wish
And turn your head away;
Under ladders never stroll,
Wear a four leaf clover in your button hole,
And keep your fingers crossed,
Don't forget to keep your fingers crossed
'Cause you know, my baby,
I'd be lost,
Where would I go,
And what would I do
If anything happened to you?

But why dream at a time like this
When a single kiss
Is a dream that is true.
Why dream of a song unsung
When the night is young
And my heart sings to you.
Too soon will come the time for dreaming
Mm Mm
Too soon the sleepy moon will go, dear;
So dear, why dream when it's love we feel
And the thrill is real
Why dream?

I wished on the moon
For something I never knew
Wish'd on the moon
For more than I ever knew
A sweeter rose, a softer sky,
An April day that would not dance away.
I begged of a star to throw me a beam or two
Wish'd on a star and ask'd for a dream or two
I looked for ev'ry loveliness
It all came true
I wished on the moon for you.

I've got certain plans for
A place that you'll need pots and pans for
Takes two to make a bargain:
What's the answer, Baby?
What do girls wear veils for?
What do men wear suits with tails for?
Takes two to make a bargain:
What's the verdict, Baby
Sign on the dotted line
If as the party of the first part
Party of the second heart,
You agree to be mine.
With Cupid as our pilot
I would like to middle aisle it,
Takes two to make a bargain.
Come on let's make vows about it,
How's about it, Baby?

Thro' the doorway of dreams I saw you.
In the moon's magic beams I saw you,
You were lonely and so was I
Still I was afraid you would wander by me.
After waiting so long to meet you
I was too overcome to greet you.
So without talking
You came walking into my heart
Thro' the doorway of dreams.

I wish I were Aladdin how lucky I would be,
I'd rub my little lamp and wish that you
Would fall in love with me.
I wish that I were Winkle
Who slept for twenty years,
Imagine twenty years to dream of you,
Would that be heavenly!
If I could cast a magic spell
When I feel blue I'd wave my wand
And call for wonderful you.
But if I were certain we'd never ever part
I wouldn't want to be Aladdin,
I wouldn't want to be Rip van Winkle
Just want to be the only one in your heart.

Without a word of warning my life has begun,
Without a word of warning two hearts beat as one.
From out of nowhere you came to me,
A breeze passed by
Whisp'ring your name to me.
Without a word of warning and strange as it seems
We kissed and with that kiss,
You invaded my dreams.
I don't know how it happen'd
But out of the blue above
You came along to answer
My song of Love.

To think that you're mine again,
How wonderful, dear!
The world is divine again because you are here.
To think all the happiness I lost has returned,
My heart beats with thankfulness,
I've lived and I've learned
Life was a lonely trail, living without you.
It's like a fairy tale, like a dream come true
To think that you're mine again, to love and adore,
This time you are mine again
For ever more, for ever more.

This world belongs to two for tonight,
Birds sing their songs to two for tonight;
Flowers with dew on them,
Fragrance of you on them.
They're yours, they're mine.
Moonbeams on high for two for tonight,
Stars light the sky for two for tonight.
Heavenly blue in it, sparkle of you in it,
My fate is yours to design.
Tho' millions of lovers are here
To share this ecstasy,
Still all of its splendour, my darling,
Just belongs to you, to me:
Love fill the air for two for tonight
I say a pray'r for two for tonight
That side by side with you
I will divide with you
All that life has in store.
Not only tonight but for evermore.

From the top of your head to the tip of your toes
You're beautiful, Yes'n Baby, what's more,
Life is heavenly in your caress.
From the top of your head to the tip of your toes
You're wonderful, you're the hit of the show,
You're the cameo of loveliness.
Oh, what eyes you have,
Oh, what lips you have,
Oh, what lovely features.
Talk about adorable creatures,
You have so many thrillables
That I'm all out of syllables.
From the top of your head to the tip of your toes
You're marvellous, glorious,
You are simply divine.
Top to tip you're tiptop
But to top it all you're mine.

Do you know why stars come out at night?
It's curious the way they do
The answer is simply this:
They love to look at you.
Do you know why owls come out at night?
And ask each other, whoo, whoo, whoo?
The answer is, simply this,
They love to look at you.
The wise old moon up yonder,
The little clouds that wander:
They've all fallen under your spell.
And I am a captive as well.
For ever and ever.
Now you know why stars come out at night:
They feel the same as I do, too.
So won't you say
That I may forever stay with you.
