Little White Lies
Heaven and Lies: Julie London's Serenade Under the Moon
Lyrics
The moon was all aglow
The moon was shining brightly.
But heaven was in your eyes
Heavenly feelings were reflected in your eyes.
The night that you told me
On the night you confessed.
Those little white lies
You spoke untruths that were meant to be comforting or gentle.
The stars all seemed to know
The stars were aware.
You didn't mean all those sighs
Your sighs were insincere.
The night that you told me
On the night you confessed.
Those little white lies
You spoke comforting lies.
I try, but there's no forgetting
Despite efforts, it's challenging to forget.
When evenin' appears
When evening arrives.
I sigh but there's no regretting
Sighs are present, but there is no feeling of regret.
In spite of my tears
Regardless of my tears.
Who wouldn't believe those lips
Anyone would trust those lips.
Who wouldn't believe those eyes
Anyone would believe those eyes.
The night that you told me
On the night you confessed.
Those little white lies
You spoke comforting lies.
I try, but there's no forgetting
Despite efforts, it's challenging to forget.
When evenin' appears
When evening arrives.
I sigh but there's no regretting
Sighs are present, but there is no feeling of regret.
In spite of my tears
Regardless of my tears.
The Devil was in your heart
There was deceit in your heart.
But Heaven was in your eyes
But your eyes reflected heavenly sincerity.
The night that you told me
On the night you confessed.
Those little white lies
You spoke comforting lies.
Those lies
Those lies.
Teeny-weeny little white lies
Very small, innocent lies.
