Words & Music by Russ Columbo, Grace Hamilton & Jack Stern

G    G/F# Em      C   C/B D7
Here are you, and here am I,

G     G/F#      E7  C    C/B     Cdim
There ain't no moon  up there on high,

    G       G+7    G7       C     Cm
But it's a lovely night to spoon,

G         C        Cdim       G     G/F#   D7
Let's pretend that there's a moon.


   G    G/F# Em   C        C/B      D7
Nights like these    were made for love,

G       G/F#       E7     C   C/B     Cdim
  Re - gard - less of the moon up a - bove;

    G       G+7        G7          C     Cm
The time and place are op - por - tune --

G         C        Cdim       G     G/F# 
Let's pretend that there's a moon.


Bridge:

    B7    Cdim     B7   B7/F#      B7      Cdim        B7   B7/F#
The poets like to tell about that spell of moonlight bliss;

B7   B7/F#    B7   Cdim      B7    Cdim   A
They weave it into ev' - ry rhyme;

   Em7      A       E7       A      Fdim     A
We need no moon a - bove to tell us when to kiss --

 D         Am7   Edim     D7
Why should we be wasting time?


G   G/F# Em   C     C/B      D7
Here are we,    and here is love;

G    G/F#    E7    Fdim     C   C/B     Cdim
Who cares if there ain't no moon up a - bove?

 G       G+7        G7          C        Cm
Let's pretend that this is the month of June,

G         C        Cdim       G     
Let's pretend that there's a moon.
