Lyrics
- Baby mine, Baby mine
Don’t your heart just pine a little
When the bright stars are gleaming
Moonbeams are beaming
Honey I’m dreaming every night
Honey love, Turtle dove
Making love was meant for every hour
Morning and noontime
Meantime is spoon time
There’s one time that’s right
Chorus:
Under the midnight moon
I know it’s kind of late for spooning
My heart will sigh, Don’t say goodbye
When the steeple bells are chiming twelve o’clock
My heart is pining
Under the midnight moon
In August, May, July or June
There are things I’d like to teach you
But my dear I’ll have to meet you
Under the midnight moon
- Honey dear, cuddle near
Don’t you know it’s nearly midnight
And it’s time for caressing
Squeezing and pressing, secrets confessing
Kiss now and then
Hold me tight, love me right
Making love is so much sweeter, Honey
Under the moonlight, beautiful spoon light
Dearie, you know when
