Goodnight Vienna (1932) und Glenn Miller and His Orchestra – Shake Down The Stars
Goodnight Vienna, You city of a million melodies Our hearts are thrilling to the strains that you play >From dawn till the daylight dies.
Goodnight Vienna, Where moonlight fills the air with mystery And eyes are shining to the gypsy guitars That sing to the starry sky.
Enchanted city of Columbine and Pierrot, We know the magic of your spell, Of our romances, you’re the hero, Now is the time to say farewell.
Goodnight Vienna, Now lovers kiss beneath your linden tree The world is waiting on the edge of the day Just waiting to say goodnight.
Shake down the stars, pull down the clouds, Turn off the moon, do it soon, I can't enjoy the night without you, Shake down the stars. Dry up the streams, stop all my dreams, Cut off the breeze, do it please, I never thought I'd cry about you, Shake down the stars. I gave you my arms, my lips, my heart, My love, my life, my all, But the best that I had to offer you I found was all too small. Crush every rose, hush every pray'r, Break every vow, do it now, I know I cannot live without you, Shake down the stars.
