By Mack David & Andre Kostelanetz1939
This was David's very first hit, teaming with future "easy listening" luminary Kostelanetz to adapt Romantic composer Peter Ilyitch Tchaikovsky's fifth symphony (particularly the andante theme). It was introduced by Glenn Miller's orchestra, but remained a popular tune for decades.
Lyrics:
Will this be moon love,
Nothing but moon love?
Will you be gone when the dawn comes stealing through?
Are these just moon dreams,
Grand while the moon beams?
But when the moon fades away, will my dreams come true?
Much as I love you,
Don't let me love you
If I must pay for your kiss with lonely tears.
Say it's not moon love,
Tell me it's true love.
Say you'll be mine when the moon disappears.
