about

This timeless torch song transports you back to 1933... or maybe to earlier this evening...Not quite the morning after... Your date went well, or did it? It felt so right in the moment, but now you just don't know. You want reassurances, but you're swooning. What brought you together? Was it the moon? The cocktails? Or was it destiny? Time will tell.

Here's a heart-achingly beautiful ballad about timeless emotions: Love. Passion. Drama. Apprehension. Regret. Hope. All woven into this time-transcending torch song.

lyrics

Moonstruck (1933)
By Arthur Johnston (m) Sam Coslow (w)

Sweetheart, wasn't there a moon?
Wasn't it in June I met you?
Sweetheart, wasn't that the start?
Things began to happen
To my hungry heart…

You had me spellbound,
Bewildered by your charms
Heaven or hell bound
I must be in your arms.

Tell me am I only Moonstruck,
Or is this really love?

Each time you kiss me
You thrill me to the sky
Why should such bliss be
So hard to analyze?

Tell me am I only Moonstruck,
Or is this really love?

What is this thing
That attracts me, distracts me,
Just like a mysterious game?
What is this strange new flame
I cannot seem to name?

Though I endeavor
I just can't see the light.
Will it last forever,
Or only for tonight?

Tell me am I only Moonstruck
Or is this really love?

Jeudi Los Angeles, California

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
