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
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 Explain Request ×
