Oh! Can't You Hear That Guitar 1934

by James Pitt-Payne, London UK - 15 Jun 2005

The silence of night
is disturbed by a sweet melody
as it sighs thro' the trees
on the wings of the breeze.
The haunting refrain
seem to echo the song in my heart
every note is divine
and it must make you mine.

Oh! Can't you hear that guitar
it brings a melody from afar
it seems to say:
"Here we are,
'tis a night for love."
And while the blanket of night
is lightened by the moon in its flight
your kiss will give me the right
to dream of love.
Your eyes are like two pools of fire,
one glance and I am filled with mad desire;
Oh! Can't you hear that guitar,
it brings a melody from afar,
it seems to say:
"Here you are,
'tis a night for love."

Oh! Can't you hear that guitar
it brings a melody from afar
it seems to say:
"Here we are,
'tis a night for love."
And while the blanket of night
is lightened by the moon in its flight
your kiss will give me the right
to dream of love.
Your eyes are like two pools of fire,
one glance and I am filled with mad desire;
Oh! Can't you hear that guitar,
it brings a melody from afar,
it seems to say:
"Here you are,
'tis a night for love."

My heart seems to thrill
with each beat of that throbbing guitar
every note seems to say
take your love while you may.
The stars in the sky
light the scene for a night of romance
while I'm holding you near
I am singing my dear.

Oh! Can't you hear that guitar
it brings a melody from afar
it seems to say:
"Here we are,
'tis a night for love."
And while the blanket of night
is lightened by the moon in its flight
your kiss will give me the right
to dream of love.
Your eyes are like two pools of fire,
one glance and I am filled with mad desire;
Oh! Can't you hear that guitar,
it brings a melody from afar,
it seems to say:
"Here you are,
'tis a night for love."

Oh! Can't you hear that guitar
it brings a melody from afar
it seems to say:
"Here we are,
'tis a night for love."
And while the blanket of night
is lightened by the moon in its flight
your kiss will give me the right
to dream of love.
Your eyes are like two pools of fire,
one glance and I am filled with mad desire;
Oh! Can't you hear that guitar,
it brings a melody from afar,
it seems to say:
"Here you are,
'tis a night for love."
