“They Can’t Blackout The Moon” 2:53 written by (Harry Roy)
This song was written back in 1939 in England. It’s about being in love during the war when they had blackouts, so enemy bombers could’d see where to drop their bombs. This presented a big problem for young lovers, but on full moon nights, you could still go out walking with your sweetheart as they couldn’t blackout the moon! We took the big band swing version, and tried to make it more cowboy swing… Just imagine a Alberta cowboy serving in England and falling in love with a beautiful English girl…

Lyrics

They Can’t Blackout The Moon
Harry Roy

I'm not afraid of the dark
Are you? (are you?) Are you? (are you?)
Gee, but it's nice in the dark
With the moon (the moon) and you (and you)
When we go strolling in the dark at night
The darkness is a boon
Who cares if we're without a light?
They can't black out the moon

When I see your smile in the cigarette glow
The picture fades too soon
But I see all I want to know
They can't black out the moon

We don't grumble.
We don't worry about alarms.
But when you stumble,
you stumble right into my arms.

And when you kiss me, don't you realize
My heart's like a big balloon?
And with the love light in your eyes
They can't black out the moon.

We don't grumble
We don't worry about alarms
But when you stumble,
you stumble right into my arms.

And when you kiss me, don't you realize
My heart’s like a big balloon?
And with the love light in your eyes,
they can't black out the moon.
They can’t blackout the moon They can’t blackout the moon
