LITLE WHITE LIES 1930
Walter Donalson 1893-1947

The moon was all aglow 
and heaven was in your eyes,
The night that you told me
those little white lies.

The stars all seemed to know 
that you didn't mean all those sighs,
The night that you told me 
those little white lies.

I try, but there's no forgetting, 
when evening appears, 
I sigh, but there's no regretting, 
in spite of my tears.

The devil was in your heart 
but heaven was in your eyes
The night that you told 
me those little white lies.
