Accompaniment by James Pitt-Payne:
Lyrics
- Dinner is ended, the music is grand
Softly the lanterns gleam
Isn’t it splendid to sit hand in hand
Silently lost in a dream?
Chorus
Hands across the table, while the lights are low
Tho’ you hush your lips, your finger tips
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
Sung here by Laurence Rubenstein:
