Transcribed from vocals by Cab Calloway, recorded
March 28, 1939,
From Cab
Calloway and His Orchestra, 1939-1940, Chronological Classics 595.
A new moon and an old serenade,
I just stood there and looked at
you
As the violins played;
A new thrill; we were both so afraid,
But the moon and the melody
Seemed to come to our aid.
Heaven gleamed in a rose-colored
light,
And the music seemed to be saying,
"I'm yours tonight,"
Your heart called, and I gladly
obeyed
In the spell of a new moon and
an old serenade.
