The sheet music:
Accompaniment by James Pitt-Payne:
Lyrics
It’s sweet when the band is playing
To hold you in my arms
But I haven’t time for saying
What I think of your charms
It’s wonderful to be swaying
To music of the dance
But I’d rather be obeying
The music of romance
Refrain
How I would love one hour with you
One hour of just being with you
Then I could say what I’m feeling
And concealing in my heart
Tonight when all our dancing is through
And moonbeams fall on roses and dew
Perhaps you may even say
That you love me, too
And let me stay one hour with you
Sung here by Laurence Rubenstein:
