When Lights are Low

Listen to the melody entrancing Blending in a soft and sweet refrain As around the floor, dear, we are dancing Swaying to a fascinating strain Sweet music soft and mellow Soothing and slow Strains of a mellow 'cello When lights are low Dear, we're so close together I love you so Why think about the weather When lights are low Two hearts revealing Music hath charms Life's so appealing With inspiration, in your arms Our lips meeting soft and tender Love's all aglow Why shouldn't we surrender When lights are low Listen how happy hearts are beating Like the ocean beats upon the sand And our feet in rhythm keep repeating Ev'ry little movement of the band Sweet music soft and mellow Soothing and slow Strains of a mellow 'cello When lights are low Dear, we're so close together I love you so Why think about the weather When lights are low Two hearts revealing Music hath charms Life's so appealing With inspiration, in your arms Our lips meeting soft and tender Love's all aglow Why shouldn't we surrender When lights are low --- When Lights Are Low - Lionel Hampton
