When It's Moonlight on the Alamo

Transcript

The moon is all aglow along the Alamo Come on, my love, let's go tonight Just like your eyes, dear, the skies, dear, are full of tender mellow light Come, love, with your love light shining Come, love, with your love aglow For when it's moonlight on the Alamo Then you'll know I love you so While the mandolins are softly playing We'll be swaying to and fro Where the sycamores sigh I'll hold you close to my breast And then I'll look in your eyes And hold you till no the rest Our night I'll never,

never let you go No, no, no, don't you go When it's moonlight on the Alamo You'll know I love you so Oh, come, my love, away before the break of day Oh, hurry, love, and don't delay Come linger near me and hear me While I have something sweet to say Come, love, where the breeze is blowing Come, love, where the food is grown For when it's moonlight on the Alamo Then you'll know I love you so While the mandolins are softly playing We'll be swaying to and fro Where the sycamores sigh I'll hold you close to my breast And then I'll look in your eyes And hold you till no the rest Our night I'll never,

never let you go No, no, no, don't you go When it's moonlight on the Alamo You'll know I love you so
