Just You And I And The Moon 1913 Ziegfeld Follies

Do you know what I'm wishing for dearie,
can you guess what I want most of all?
Of all these bright lights I am weary.
I yearn for a town that is small.
I'm longing for something I wonder,
If you've ever longed for the same,
just lend me your ear,
and cuddle up near,
and I'll let you in on the same.

Just you and I and the moon dear,
a rare summer evening in June.
Night birds a calling,
shadows a falling,
flowers all covered with dew.
Moonbeams a glist'ning above you.
Soft winds that whisper: "I love you,"
Far from this crowd,
where no one's allowed
but just you and I and the moon.

I'm so tired of the whirl of the city.
The sham and the turmoil and strife.
The wise guy the sad and the witty,
I long for the sweet simple life.
Dear I want to get back to nature,
back to where the skies are so blue,
to roam hand in hand dear you understand,
you know what I'm asking of you.

Just you and I and the moon dear,
a rare summer evening in June.
Night birds a calling,
shadows a falling,
flowers all covered with dew.
Moonbeams a glist'ning above you.
Soft winds that whisper: "I love you,"
Far from this crowd,
where no one's allowed
but just you and I and the moon.
