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 couldn't 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 couldn't it last last night?
