(why Couldn`t It Last) Last Night?


												
														   (Why Couldnt It Last) Last Night

 Glenn Miller

 Written by Austen Croom, Johnson, Nick Kenny and Charles Kenny

 

 As recorded by the Glenn Miller Orchestra on September 11th, 1939 with Ray
Eberle

 

 Last night, I touched your fingertips

 And when I touched your lips

 I fell in love last night...

 

 Last night, I felt your heart beat fast

 Swiftly the moments passed

 Why couldnt it last last night?

 

 Tonight here I am all alone

 My lovely dream has flown

 Why must I be alone?

 

 Last night, why did we say goodbye?

 My heart keeps asking why,

 Why couldnt it last last night...?
