Moonglow
Benny Goodman & Benny Goodman and His Orchestra Lyrics


It must have been moonglow, way up in the blue
It must have been moonglow that led me straight to you
I still hear you sayin', "Dear one, hold me fast"
And I keep on prayin', "Oh Lord, please let this last"

We seemed to float right through the air
Heavenly songs seemed to come from everywhere

And now when there's moonglow, way up in the blue
I'll always remember, that moonglow gave me you

It must have been moonglow, way up in the blue
It must have been moonglow that led me straight to you
I still hear you sayin', "Sweet child, hold me fast"
And I keep on prayin', "Oh Lord, please let this last"

We seemed to float right through the air
Heavenly songs seemed to come from everywhere

And now when there's moonglow, way up in the blue
I'll always remember, that moonglow gave me you

You should go listen to the Cab Calloway version

@markymarknj

You got THAT right!

@tanyasimon595

I recall it was the song that was highlighted in the film "PICNIC" with William Holden and Kim Novak--they had a dance sequence using this song. Brilliant.

@one_million_realities_away

Let me tell you, there is nothing more nostalgic and beautiful as hearing this song on a record player.

@NellieKAdaba

I love record players.

@felisamacaraeg5259

oh my God, Yes! ;-)

@kartikeyajuneja4925

I have a Benny Goodman record arriving tomorrow and this song is on it. Cannot wait to listen to it when it arrives!

Finding a pressing in good condition may be hard to do. Also most people don't have a 78 RPM stylus. There are plenty of ceramic cartridges out there but finding a GE 78 RPM magnetic would be cool. Stereo cartridges should not be used on 78 RPM records

@Craig Kopcho The best was a Webster Chicago changer with a GE cartridge, in a Magnavox console with 2- 12" speakers. All tubes and a push pull output amp..
