Lyrics
Stand there just a moment, darling
Let me catch my breath
I’ve never seen a picture quite so lovely
How did you ever learn to look so lovely?
Refrain
Moonlight becomes you
It goes with your hair
You certainly know the right thing to wear
Moonlight becomes you
I’m thrilled at the sight
And I could get so romantic tonight
You’re all dressed up to go dreaming
Now don’t tell me I’m wrong
And what a night to go dreaming
Mind if I tag along?
If I say I love you, I want you to know
It’s not just because there’s moonlight, although
Moonlight becomes you so
