Were You Sincere?

Al Bowlly acc. by orchestra

One night lives forever in my memory
That night we met beneath the moon
You vowed that forever my love you would be
Oh, tell me, how could you forget so soon

Were you sincere when you made a vow
That night 'neath the moon above
That night when you said, "I love you"
Were you sincere

Were you sincere when you held my hand
And said you were mine alone
And I was your one and only
Were you sincere

To think you promised me
That we'd never be apart
And to think I trusted you
Then woke with a broken heart

Must I regret the night that we met
That night heaven seemed so near
Were you just pretending, dear
Or were you sincere

Were you sincere when you made a vow
That night 'neath the moon above
(Whistling)

Were you sincere when you held my hand
And said you were mine alone
And I was your one and only
Were you sincere

To think you promised me
That we'd never be apart
And to think I trusted you
Then woke with a broken heart

Must I regret the night that we met
That night heaven seemed so near
Were you just pretending, dear
Or were you sincere
