last night my dear the rain was falling i went to bed so sad and blue then i had a dream of you i dreamed i was strolling in the evening underneath the harvest moon i was thinking about you and then we met me in the moonlight the stars were shining in your eyes but another was there too i don t believe you ve met my baby you looked at him you looked at me i wondered who you were talking to i shook the hand of your stranger but i was shaking more inside i was still wondering who your arm was resting on his shoulder you smiled at him he smiled at you his eyes were filled with victory he said my sister wants to marry then my heart was filled with ease i knew that you would marry me
