Hands across the table

Dinner is ended, the music is grand Softly the lantern's gleam Isn't it splendid to sit hand in hand Silently lost in a dream? Hands across the table While the lights are low Though you hush your lips, your fingertips Tell me all I want to know Hands across the table Meet so tenderly And they say in their little way That you belong to me Silence is golden, so do not reply And I shall understand All can be told in a look of your eye And in a touch of your hand Hand across the table While the lights are low Though you hush your lips, your fingertips Tell me all I want to know Hands across the table Meet so tenderly And they say in their little way That you belong to me --- Hands Across the Table - Sarah Vaughan
