Avalon - Benny Goodman

Listen to the melody entrancing

Blending in a soft and sweet refrain

As around the floor, dear, we are dancing

Swaying to a fascinating strain

Sweet music soft and mellow

Soothing and slow

Strains of a mellow 'cello

When lights are low

Dear, we’re so close together I love you so Why think about the weather

When lights are low

Two hearts revealing

Music hath charms

Life’s so appealing

With inspiration, in your arms

Our lips meeting soft and tender

Love’s all aglow

Why shouldn’t we surrender

When lights are low

Listen how happy hearts are beating

Like the ocean beats upon the sand

And our feet in rhythm keep repeating

Ev’ry little movement of the band

Sweet music soft and mellow

Soothing and slow

Strains of a mellow 'cello

When lights are low

Dear, we’re so close together I love you so Why think about the weather

When lights are low

Two hearts revealing

Music hath charms

Life’s so appealing

With inspiration, in your arms

Our lips meeting soft and tender

Love’s all aglow

Why shouldn’t we surrender

When lights are low
