Lyrics:

(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...? (Transcribed by Alex Foertsch: afn@netzland.net)
