Nellie Lutcher

"Let Me Love You Tonight"

April 30, 1947

Music by Rene Touzet

Words by Mitchell Parish

Let me love you tonight,
Let me tell you how much I adore all your charms.
Though you leave me tomorrow,
Tonight let me borrow a love song.

Let me love you tonight,
Let me thrill to the touch of your sheltering arms,
Till the scent of the roses
Caresses and closes your eyes.

Let me kiss you tonight,
While the stars in the sky give a heavenly light,
so when love is an ember,
My heart will remember your sighs.

live a lifetime of love in a moment,
Holding me tight,
Then forget me, darling,
Only let me love you tonight!
