Lyrics
I was not in a dancing mood
I was so restless, didn’t know what to do
So I walked in the garden
And there I found you
Refrain:
By an ivy covered wall
‘Twas there we met
I offered you a light to light your cigarette
You were just a silhouette
By an ivy covered wall
We breathed a sigh
And then we started counting
Countless stars on high
Heaven knows the reason why
There was so much to say
But we left it all unsaid
We made a wish
On a lucky shooting star instead
Our romance will never end
My life’s complete
For I know when the moon comes out
Again we’ll meet
By an ivy covered wall
