Last Night Lyrics

(Why Couldn’t 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 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...?
