Lyrics
- There’s a spot out underneath the trees
Cooled by summer’s sweetest evening breeze
Roses bloom and scatter their perfume
It would be much pleasure and delight
Just for sweethearts to meet there tonight
I will be one if you only make it two
And if you’ll say all right
Chorus
Meet me tonight at nine
Just as the stars do shine
That’s not too soon, dear
Sweet month of June, dear
Moon, spoon, love is in tune, dear
Say that you will be mine
My heart responds to thine
In the moonlight
Meet me tonight at nine
- Strolling in the garden arm in arm
Nature has a fascinating charm
Thoughts come soon about a honeymoon
In a cottage shaded by a tree
Happy days a-waiting you and me
And when the knot is tied
I will be satisfied
Locked in by love’s latch-key
