Did I see moonlight and magnolia trees?

Smile again, my darling, if you please

Did I hear music on a warm spring breeze?

Speak again, my darling, if you please

 

Did I feel cool September rain just then?

If you please, touch my cheek with your hand again

 

When you are near me I can dream with ease

And I'm yours, my darling, if you please

Did I feel cool September rain just then?

If you please, touch my cheek with your hand again

 

When you are near me I can dream with ease

And I'm yours, my darling, if you please
