(Silly idea)
From the film “Gulliver’s Travels” 1939
Words and music by Leo Robin and Ralph Rainger
The sheet music:
Lyrics
Never thought that I would hear
Bluebirds sing at night
Always thought that they only sing by day
Now I know that when you’re near
Shadows fade from sight
Skies grow bright
Yes, I guess it’s love
Refrain:
There are bluebirds in the moonlight
Silly idea, bluebirds in the moonlight
But that’s how I feel when I’m with you
There are night-owls in the daylight
Silly idea, night-owls in the daylight
Or maybe my heart is saying
Hoo! hoo! hoo! hoo!
Who is the one for me, you
That’s what you’ve done to me
There are bluebirds in the moonlight
Silly idea, bluebirds in the moonlight
But that’s how I feel when I’m with you
