"By The Light Of The Silvery Moon" The song was published in 1909. - By the Light of the Silv'ry Moon<br />Doris Day<br />By the light of the silvery moon<br />I want to "SPOON"<br />To my honey, I'll croon love's tune<br />Honey moon, keep a-shinin' in June<br />Your silvery beams will bring love's dreams<br />We'll be cuddlin' soon<br />By the silvery moon.......
