Moonlight Serenade (08-04-39) - Count Basie

I stand at your gate and the song that I sing is of moonlight

I stand and I wait for the touch of your hand in the June night

The roses are sighing a moonlight serenade

The stars are aglow and tonight how their light sets me dreaming

My love, do you know that your eyes are like stars brightly beaming?

I bring you and sing you a moonlight serenade

Let us stray till break of day in love’s valley of dreams

Just you and I, a summer sky, a heavenly breeze kissing the trees

So don’t let me wait, come to me tenderly in the June night

I stand at your gate and I sing you a song in the moonlight

A love song, my darling, a moonlight serenade
