01 Oct 09 - 05:44 AM (#2735667) Subject: Lyr Req: From Daylight to Starlight From: Sean Mc I am looking for the lyrics of a song that I heard 25 - 30 years ago. I believe it was written by a chap in the Torbay area - but that is not definite. I only have a few scraps of the chorus but I remember the tune (or so I think). From daylight, to starlight, in the noisy heat of June, Dum dum dee dum . . . . . . . . . of the moon. Can anyone help? Thanks, Sean |

I also now need to review what I think I know about the tune. Though this is almost definately the song I am not sure about the melody for the second half of the verse - unless it is just repeated. More digging needed. Thanks again, Sean |

Thanks for reminding me about it, it's a song I've heard but never got round to learning. But I can't help you with the missing bit of tune because that's exactly the bit I can't remember. I'll watch this thread now and see if anything emerges. Marje |
