Letra de Howard Johnson
Música de Edgardo Donatto
When all the lights are low
Del libro «Favorite Collection of Tangos» por Xavier Cugat
The shadows creep all around us
and birds are saying good night
it is time that Cupid found us
in this moment of delight
the stars in the Heavens glimmer
and on all the babbling streams
there dances a silver shimmer
sent there by pale moon beams
now that day has gone to rest
let me take you in my arms
and hold you closely to my breast
when all the lights are low
and shadows come and go
the world is like a garden
an Eden that we know
by ev’ry star a glow
I’ll swear I love you so
please promise you’ll return it
when all the lights are low
when all the lights are low
