Bing Crosby crooned this beautiful love song to Dorothy Lamour as he stood beneath her window in the film, "Road To Morocco." His 1942 recording of this song reached no. 1 on the Hit Parade, closely followed by Glenn Miller's rendition. In 1943 the Harry James band, with Johnny McAfee on vocal, had a million-selling recording on the Columbia label. Variety selected it for their Fifty Year Hit Parade.
Music by James Van Heusen.
Words by Johnny Burke.
The Ol'Kunnel had this music as an ANSI file on his old Bulletin Board System (BBS). Of course, instead of the Dorothy Lamour graphic here, I had an ANSI graphic of Marilyn Monroe done by a real artist in the GT Power Network. Miss Monroe's graphic was in gray-silver tones and she had a diamond earring that sparkled in the light. Alas, I cannot find it or the name of the artist; so, Miss Lamour's photo will do as well. The BBS ANSI music was arranged by the Ol'Kunnel and even it is long gone. The music you hear is a Grandpa Schober arrangement that he did for the Ol'Kunnel. Don't forget to visit his (Grandpa Schober's Midi Music) MIDI web site. 8-)

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.
