Moonlight Becomes You

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?

Moonlight becomes you,

It goes with your hair

You certainly know the right thing to wear.

Summer Moon

Alfred James Dewey

(1874-1958)

American artist

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

What a night to go dreaming

Mind if I tag along?

And if I say: "I love you"

I want you to know

It's not just because there's moonlight, although

Moonlight becomes you so.

"Moonlight Becomes You"
