In the still of the night - De Lovely

by Cole Porter.

In the still of the night
As I gaze from my window
At the moon in its flight
My thoughts all stray to you

In the still of the night
All the world is in slumber
All the times without number
Darling when I say to you

Do you love me, as I love you
Are you my life to be, my dream come true
Or will this dream of mine fade out of sight
Like the moon growing dim, on the rim of the hill
In the chill, still, of the night

Like the moon growing dim, on the rim of the hill
In the chill, still, of the night

Do you love me

As I love you?

Are you my life to be

My dream come true?

What beautiful music. What haunting lyrics. Perfectly performed, in every sense, here.

This song had me in tears by the end of it. So devastatingly beautiful and heartbreaking at the same time.

best ending to one of my all time favorite movies. Haunting doesn't even begin to describe it...

I made my cousin listen to this song once, and it really saddened me how she could'nt even appreciate the beauty of it. I could listen to this song a hundred times and it never loses it powerful, haunting affect. Just a beautiful piece of music :)
