Allegheny Moon, I need your light
To help me find romance tonight,
So shine... shine... shine (on tonight)

Allegheny Moon, your silver beams
Can lead the way to golden dreams,
So shine... shine... please shine (shine)

High among the stars, so bright above,
The magic of your lamp of love
Can make him mine

Allegheny Moon, it's up to you
Please see what you can do
For me -- and for my one and only love (Allegheny Moon)

So shine... shine... shine...

High among the stars, so bright above,
The magic of your lamp of love
Can make him mine

Allegheny Moon, it's up to you
Please see what you can do
For me, and for my one and only love

Shine on me tonight, Allegheny Moon

Mockin' Bird Hill is a song was written by Vaughn Horton and published in 1951. It was popularized by Patti Page and by Les Paul and Mary Ford in 1951, and for both of them following on to their big hit of "The Tennessee Waltz" the previous year.

The music of "Mockin' Bird Hill" is based closely on a Swedish waltz called "Livet i Finnskogarna" or "Life in the Finnish Woods," recorded by Carl Jularbo in 1915, which enjoyed some popularity in the U.S.

Tra-la-la, twiddly-dee-dee
It gives me a thrill
To wake up in the morning to the mockingbird's trill
Tra-la-la, twiddly-dee-dee
There's peace and goodwill
You're welcome as the flowers on Mockin' Bird Hill

When the sun in the morning
Peeps over the hill,
And kisses the roses 'round my windowsill
Then my heart fills with gladness
When I hear the trill
Of the birds in the treetops on Mockin' Bird Hill

Tra-la-la, twiddly-dee-dee
It gives me a thrill
To wake up in the morning to the mockingbird's trill
Tra-la-la, twiddly-dee-dee
There's peace and goodwill
You're welcome as the flowers on Mockin' Bird Hill

When it's late in the evening,
I climb up the hill
And survey all my kingdom while everything's still
Only me and the sky -- and an old whippoorwill
Singin' songs in the twilight on Mockin' Bird Hill

Tra-la-la, twiddly-dee-dee
It gives me a thrill
To wake up in the morning to the mockingbird's trill
Tra-la-la, twiddly-dee-dee
There's peace and goodwill
You're welcome as the flowers on Mockin' Bird Hill

Tra-la-la, twiddly-dee-dee
There's peace and goodwill
You're welcome as the flowers on Mockin' Bird Hill

"You belong to Me” was music by Pee Wee King/Redd Stewart/Chilton Price.

The original version of was recorded by Sue Thompson and a better known version was recorded by Jo Stafford. It was soon covered by Patti Page, whose version entered the Billboard chart on August 22, 1952.

See the pyramids along the Nile
Watch the sun rise on a tropic isle
Just remember darling all the while
You belong to me

See the market place in old Algiers
Send me photographs and souvenirs
Just remember when a dream appears
You belong to me

I'll be so alone without you
Maybe you'll be lonesome too

Fly the ocean in a silver plane
See the jungle when it's wet with rain
Just remember till you're home again
You belong to me

Oh I'll be so alone without you
Maybe you'll be lonesome too

Fly the ocean in a silver plane
See the jungle when it's wet with rain
Just remember till you're home again
You belong to me

"Hush, Hush, Sweet Charlotte" is a popular song with music by Frank De Vol and lyrics by Mack David, introduced in the 1964 movie of the same name starring: Bette Davis, Olivia de Havilland, Joseph Cotten, Agnes Moorehead, Cecil Kellaway, Mary Astor....

Until "The Exorcist" was filmed in 1973, Robert Aldrich's "Hush, Hush Sweet Charlotte" had been the most Academy Award nominated horror film in history with 7 nominations. The movie starred Bette Davis and it used a beautiful theme composed by Frank De Vol and Mack David as contrast to the horror on screen.

The original soundtrack was by Al Martino (October 7, 1927– October 13, 2009)

Patti Page recorded the song in 1965 and took the song to #8 on the charts in May of 1965. It also became one of her last top 10 hits.

Hush hush, sweet Charlotte
Charlotte, don't you cry
Hush hush, sweet Charlotte
He'll love you till he dies

Oh, hold him darling
Please hold him tight
And brush the tear from your eye
You weep because you had a dream last night
You dreamed that he said goodbye

He held two roses within his hand
Two roses he gave to you
The red rose tells you of his passion
The white rose his love so true
(Chorus)

And every night after he shall die
Yes every night when he's gone
The wind will sing you this lullaby
Sweet Charlotte was loved by John
(Chorus)
 

"I'll Remember Today" 1957
- music by Edith Piaf
- words by William Engvick

For always and always
I'll remember today
How you held me and kissed me
In the tenderest way

Even though you may leave me
In my heart you will stay
Though I'm lonely tomorrow
I'll remember today

For as long as I live dear
I'll remember today
How you wispered "I love you"
In the tenderest way

Through the winds of December
And the magic of May
Through a million tomorrows
I'll remember today

I remember the music
And the welcoming skies
How the sound of your voice
Through the love in your eyes

So for always and always
I'll remember today
How you held me and kissed me
In the tenderest way

Through a million tomorrows
I'll remember today  
Oh how I'll remember today

他在1953年為紅磨坊電影主題曲填了一個英文版本:-

The Song from the 1952 film " Moulin Rouge "
" Where Is Your Heart "
Percy Faith & His Orchestra
- words by William Engvick, music by Georges Aurie

Whenever we kiss
I worry and wonder
Your lips may be near
But where is your heart?

It's always like this
I worry and wonder
You're close to me here
But where is your heart?

It's a sad thing to realize
That you've a heart that never melts
When we kiss, do you close your eyes
Pretending that I'm someone else?

You must break the spell
This cloud that I'm under
So please won't you tell
Darling, where is your heart?
