Lyrics
Now that we are close
No more nights morose
Now that we are one
The beguine has just begun
Now that we’re side by side
The future looks so gay
Now we are alibied when we say
Refrain:
From this moment on
You for me, dear
Only two for tea, dear
From this moment on
From this happy day
No more blue songs
Only whoop-dee-doo songs
From this moment on
For you’ve got the love I need so much
Got the skin I love to touch
Got the arms to hold me tight
Got the sweet lips to kiss me goodnight
From this moment on
You and I, babe
We’ll be ridin’ high, babe
Every care is gone
From this moment on
