Patti Page Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
To help me find romance tonight
So shine, shine, shine on tonight
Allegheny Moon your silver beams
Can lead the way to golden dreams
So shine, shine, please shine (shine)
The magic of your lamp of love
Can make him mine
Allegheny Moon, it's up to you
Please see what you can do
For me and for my one and only love (Allegheny Moon)
So shine, shine, shine
Ah, ah, ah
High among the stars, so bright above
The magic of your lamp of love
Can make him mine
Allegheny Moon, it's up to you
Please see what you can do
For me and for my one and only love
Shine on me tonight, Allegheny Moon
The lyrics to Patti Page's song Allegheny Moon speak of the singer's desire for love and how they turn to the moon for guidance.

This takes me out of the uncertain present to a warm and secure childhood. Thanks so much for the opportunity to "time travel" back to a period when they had REAL singers and REAL, mature adults!

elysianfields49 I always had the dream of living in the beautiful neighborhood of a 1950s America. Watching a movie in a car going to a family diner listening to the radio hearing the voices of Margaret Whiting, The Andrews sisters, Jo Stafford, and Bing Crosby. That dream makes me feel so happy for once.

She sings this so effortlessly... absolutely beautiful!! I'd like to see any contemporary singer attempt this kind of artistry.

Being born and raised in a small town outside of Pittsburgh, along the Allegheny River, this song is especially meaningful to me. Love Patti Page!

I love this song by Pattie, I remember when it was released by her. Thank you for letting us enjoy again.
Randall Riley
So easy to see why she was called "that singin' rage, Miss Patti Page.." Lovely, so very lovely.
Wayne Brasler
Patti had a firm belief every song should be sung as written with paricularly close attention to telling a story, not just reciting lyrics.

I love Patti Page!
