Cole Porter Says it Best

SO IN LOVE AM I

Strange dear, but true dear,
When I’m close to you, dear,
The stars fill the sky,
So in love with you am I.

Even without you,
My arms fold about you,
You know, darling why,
So in love with you am I.

In love with the night mysterious,
The night when you first were there.
In love with my joy delirious,
The thought that you might care.

So taunt me, and hurt me,
Decieve me, desert me,
I’m yours till I die,
So in love with you am I.

IN THE STILL OF THE NIGHT

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
while the world is in slumber,
oh, 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?
