MARIE
Irving Berlin, 1928

There's a gleam in your eyes, Marie,
And the meaning is plain to see,
But you'll find romance
Is a game of chance
That's not all it seems to be.

REFRAIN
Marie, the dawn is breaking
Marie, you'll soon be waking,
To find, your heart is breaking(1)
And tears will fall as you recall
The moon, in all its splendor,
The kiss, so very tender,
The words, "Will you surrender,"
To me, my Marie.

(1) Sometimes sung as "aching."

Song written by Irving Berlin for Vilma Banky, for her film "The Awakening," 1928. Produced by Samuel Goldwyn
Hugo Riesenfeld also wrote music for the film.
The film is lost.
