Tonight You Belong To Me

This popular american song, written in 1926 by Billy Rose and Lee David, was a hit for Gene Austin in 1927.




In 1956, a new version with shorter lyrics was recorded by Lawrence Welk and The Lennon Sisters, reaching #15 on the Billboard charts in September.




Another delightful cover was made in the same year, by sister singing duo Patience and Prudence, who were, respectively, 14 and 11 years old. It charted #4, also in September.




I know (I know)
You belong to somebody new
But Tonight you belong to me
Although (although) we're apart
You're part of my heart
And tonight you belong to me

Way down by the stream
How sweet it will seem
Once more just to dream
In the moonlight
My honey I know (I know)
With the dawn that you will be gone
But tonight you belong to me

Way down, way down along the stream
How very, very sweet it will seem
Once more just to dream
In the silvery moonlight
My honey, I know (I know)
With the dawn that you will be gone
But tonight you belong to me
Just to little old me
