She spun him like a tune, stole a midnight kiss, and he fell for it twice.
Estimated reading time: 1 minute(s) (180 words)

A dance-floor romance in which the narrator loses his step and falls in love: spun like a tune, kissed at midnight, begging for one more chance. The same song also turns up as a 1944 vocal-group number and a Bobby Darin-style swing elsewhere on this site. This is the album's version.

Oh My Dear

Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Oh, my dear, you spun me like a tune
Oh, my dear, beneath that velvet moon
Laughing
You pulled me close and then
You stole a midnight kiss and struck again

[Verse 2]
Oh, my dear, I begged for one more chance
Lost my step and toppled in romance
Gladly
That dreamy moonlit scene
Where shadows danced and made you look serene

[Bridge]
Your lips — a thrilling secret, warm and daring
Mine never fluttered so before, I swear it

[Verse 3]
And now I know what one embrace can start
Look at me — you've rearranged my heart
Laughing
That little kiss you took
Captured my whole heart's book
