I Was Saying To The Moon - 1936

Dr. Pitt-Payne in London UK 16 Jul 2001

I've often talk'd about the man
I would like to meet,
Handsome! Charming!
Romantic! Sweet!
I've told so many friends
Exactly what he must be;
and they would smile at me,
simply smile at me....

I was saying to the Moon
Just the other night,
"Wouldn't it be grand if I
Should find my one delight?"
I was saying to the Moon
"Love can't be so far.."
Never thinking you would
Soon be standing where you are.
I just stood and stared at you
I could hardly contain myself.
Then I tried to explain myself,
But all the time you knew
When you stepp'd into my life
It was opportune.
Just as tho' you heard what
I was saying to The Moon.

I could hardly contain myself.

Just as tho' you heard what
