Tell Me Tonight - 1932

James Pitt-Payne, London and Ian Cousins, Opera Australia

I should be happy, and yet
I've had no peace since we met;
Sometimes full of hope,
At times despairing,
Caring as I do.
Love, for your answer I wait;
Why can't you tell me my fate?
You must know how much I love you,
Tell me that you love me, too
Love, I give you my heart,
If you will take this gift I bring you,
Tell me tonight.
Love, if I must depart,
If you would hush the song I sing you,
Tell me tonight.
So speak or never again
My love refrain will greet you
'Neath the moon's dreamy light.
Say with those lips divine
That you'll be mine tonight.
Love, I have waited so long;
Hope can't for ever be strong.
All this weary while my heart's been aching
Breaking point is near.
Don't leave me sad and alone,
Take me and make me your own;
Take me in your arms and whisper
Those sweet words I long to hear.
Love I give you my heart,
If you will take this gift I bring you,
Tell me tonight.
Love, if I must depart,
If you would hush the song I sing you,
Tell me tonight.
So speak or never again
My love refrain will greet you
'Neath the moon's dreamy light.
Say with those lips divine
That you'll be mine tonight
