Hand Across the Table - Sarah Vaughan

Softly the lantern’s gleam

Isn’t it splendid to sit hand in hand

Silently lost in a dream?

Hands across the table

While the lights are low

Though you hush your lips, your fingertips

Tell me all I want to know

Hands across the table

Meet so tenderly

And they say in their little way

That you belong to me

Silence is golden, so do not reply

And I shall understand

All can be told in a look of your eye

And in a touch of your hand

Hand across the table

While the lights are low

Though you hush your lips, your fingertips

Tell me all I want to know

Hands across the table

Meet so tenderly

And they say in their little way

That you belong to me
