about
The story: Breaking curfew felt fun and reckless years ago, but now, you answer to yourself. Your inner compass may tell you to say “goodnight”, but your racing pulse and fluttering heart tell you to stay just a little longer. It’s enticing. Before you know it, there’s a new day dawning.
Some dating dilemmas persist through the generations.This jaunty jazz tune from 1932 has a fresh, retro-nouveau arrangement for the modern vintage loving audiences, capturing the flirting fancies of early love, when you’re testing the boundaries of your relationship and desires.

LYRICS
When the world is fast asleep,
My eyes are open wide.
I’m sitting in the parlor,
with baby at my side.
How the time goes flying by, until it dawns on me…
I really should be going,
But... Oh! It’s heavenly!
In the dim, dim, dawning, as I start yawning,
I’m kissing my sweetie goodnight,
Goodnight, sweet dreams, goodnight.
Oh the moon is sinking,
the stars are blinking,
But what do I care for their light?
His eyes are twice as bright!
1 o’clock, 2 o’clock,
I should have said goodbye at 10!
4 o’clock, 5 o’clock,
I start saying goodbye again!
In the dim, dim, dawning, as I start yawning,
I’m kissing my sweetie goodnight,
Goodnight, sweet dreams, goodnight.

Music That Transports You
As a performer of vintage music, I like to take people on a joyful time-traveling journey. As you’re listening, I hope
you’ll feel like you’ve been transported to the past - - maybe it’s a swank Supper Club in Manhattan, an intimate Parisian Cabaret, an elegant London Ballroom, or to Hollywood’s Golden Age - - or maybe you’ll just drift on the music, back to your own memories....more
