Lyrics
They stood there in the moonlight
She sighed and spoke his name
He looked up from her kisses
Just long enough to exclaim
Refrain
Wake the town and tell the people
Sing it to the moon above
Wake the town and tell the people
Tell ’em that we’re so in love
Let’s begin the celebration
Let’s declare a holiday
Send a wedding invitation
To the neighbors right away
When you are close to me
And my heart is dancing with delight
I want the world to see
Heaven in my arms tonight
Shout it from the highest steeple
Ring the bells the whole night through
Wake the town and tell the people
Tell them I’m in love with you
Sung here by Vancha March:
