Moonlight Becomes You

Moonlight Becomes You
Bing Crosby John Scott Trotter And His Orchestra Lyrics


Moonlight becomes you, it goes with your hair
You certainly know the right thing to wear
Moonlight becomes you, I'm thrilled at the sight
And I could get so romantic tonight

You're all dressed up to go dreaming
Now don't tell me I'm wrong
And what a night to go dreaming
Mind if I tag along
If I say I love you
I want you to know
It's not just because there's moonlight
Although, moonlight becomes you so

You're all dressed up to go dreaming
Now don't tell me I'm wrong
And what a night to go dreaming
Mind if I tag along

If I say I love you
I want you to know
It's not just because there's moonlight
Although, moonlight becomes you so

1940s Elegance...
Oh it's BING!!!! Swooooonnnn.... 💗 LOL!
Number 1 on the charts in 1942. A beautifully romantic ode.
And nobody does it better than Bing!


If I had lived then I would get to go to a real music store.
Phonographs, 78s, sheet music and musical instruments.
A nod to nostalgia...


Thank you for posting!

my dad sang this to me every night to fall asleep. or just to sing it to me, it's a great memory to have.

@zoebidule3397

Well, lucky you. It is a very nice song for going to sleep and I bet it must be a great memory !

@gerrygeorge1468

Gosh, what a wonderful Dad to do this. This is so very moving, in itself ! I'm nearly 82 - never found my Miss Right - but I'm still an incurable romantic !

@muzafferelbeyli2756

@Gerry George sir, what's your advice to young people like us for relationships, finding the one or opinions on life

@gerrygeorge1468

@Muzaffer Elbeyli It depends where you live, Muzzaffer, to be perfectly honest. We live (thankfully) in a multicultural Village - because of enhancing communiations - so you can make friends with people on-line, That said - in my own experience - you've got make your mind up, as to how your own social background will mix with someone, on the other side of the world, who might offend your perceptions of how life should be lived. For instance, if you live in a strongly religious household, you would have difficulty in bridging the interface with someone who didn't approve of, or share that culture or those views. Now, I'm a very cosmopolitan young-minded and exceptionally-fit fella of 82 (and still making and directing movies), so - if I get propositioned by some unwitting young lady on here, I have got to come-clean and tell her what I happen to be, and how old I am; if not problems arise.

In the same way - and by the way, this is reciprocal, between you and the person you like - they have to come-clean with you !

Otherise, it's one world, and - provided you note take exception to the many Western folks who place rather less than no importance on their Maker (as I feel they ought to), you've just got to sound-out that one too, and if they are affronted by your faith, and want to be God-less - then you will have to decide whether you could tolerate that, or not ! You see, Dear pal, Racism has nothing to do with this issue; rather it is if yo and the person you like, are going to be able to
respect each other's cultures, and that way, get on together ! Best of Luck, and God Be With YOU ! Gerry George.

mine too!

My brother and I are kids of the 1970s and we loved watching Bing & Bob's Road movies on Saturday afternoons. Hard to imagine 10-year-olds in 2023 humming this tune as I used to do walking to school.

@SwordOfArthur

One of the greatest singers of our time, assisted by the great song writers of the time, this is what music and singing is supposed to sound like, a tune and words you can hear and actually understand!! Bing felt like a friend and he was actually singing for you , a rare quality.

@ClassyOldMusic

the just so genuinely, naturally beautiful Dorothy Lamour, the crooning vocals of the finest singing gentleman, Bing Crosby, the spotlight for romance, the Moonlight... this is the most perfect combination of beauty, charm, song, and romance... nothing has, or ever will, surpass this performance, this vision... I believe for most who experience it, will leave with a softer, kinder, more loving heart...

@geetarnut

+ClassyOldMusic Yes! You're so right! The beauty that comes from purity of heart, is beyond description! It's alive, and it's available to us all the time!!! Thanks for a great comment!!!
