Verse 1
last night, my dear , the rain was fallin'
I went to bed so sad and blue
then I had a dream of u
I dreamed I was strolling in the evening
underneath the harvest moon
I was thinking about you
then we met out in the moonlight
the stars were shining in your eyes
but another was there too

Verse 2
I don't believe you've met my baby
you looked at her, you looked at me
I wondered who you were talking to
I shook the hand of your stranger
But I was shaking all inside
I was still wondering who
Your arm was resting on her shoulder
you smiled at her, she smiled at you
her eyes were filled with victory
she said, "my brother wants to marry you"
and then my heart was filled with things
I knew that you would marry me
