Wake The Town And Tell The People 1955 JPitt-Payne

They stood there in the moonlight
she sighed and spoke his name;
he looked up from her kisses
just long enough to exclaim:

Wake the town and tell the people
sing it to the moon above,
wake the town and tell the people
tell 'em that we're so in love.
Let's begin the celebration
let's declare a holiday
send a wedding invitation
to the neighbours right away.
When you are close to me
and my heart is dancing with delight
I want the world to see
heaven in my arms tonight.
Shout it from the highest steeple
ring the bells the whole night through
wake the town and tell the people
tell them I'm in love with you.

Wake the town and tell the people
sing it to the moon above,
wake the town and tell the people
tell 'em that we're so in love.
Let's begin the celebration
let's declare a holiday
send a wedding invitation
to the neighbours right away.
When you are close to me
and my heart is dancing with delight
I want the world to see
heaven in my arms tonight.
Shout it from the highest steeple
ring the bells the whole night through
wake the town and tell the people
tell them I'm in love with you.
