Les Baxter His Chorus And Orchestra Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Sing it to the moon above
Wake the town and tell the people
Tell them that we're so in love (Them that we're so in love)
Let's begin the celebration
Let's declare a holiday
Send the wedding invitation
When you are close to me
And my heart is dancing with delight
[Chorus:]
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
[Chorus x 2]
(Wake the town and tell the people)

Starts out like Wanda Jacksons "Right or Wrong" which was popular almost six years later.
