(Victor) Vocals [Refrain] – Al Bowlly. Written-By – Ray Noble. Ray Noble And His Orchestra.
Albert Allick Bowlly (7 January 1898 – 17 April 1941) was a Mozambican-born South African/British vocalist and jazz guitarist who was popular during the 1930s in England. He recorded more than 1,000 songs.
On 16 April 1941, Bowlly and Messene had given a performance at the Rex Cinema in Oxford Street, High Wycombe. Both were offered an overnight stay in town, but Bowlly took the last train home to his flat at 32 Duke Street, Duke's Court, St James, London. He was killed by a Luftwaffe parachute mine that detonated outside his flat at ten past three in the morning. His body appeared unmarked. Although the explosion had not disfigured him, it had blown his bedroom door off its hinges, and the impact against his head was fatal. He was buried with other bombing victims in a mass grave at Hanwell Cemetery, Uxbridge Road, Hanwell, where his name is given as Albert Alex Bowlly.
Raymond Stanley Noble (17 December 1903 – 2 April 1978) was an English bandleader, composer, arranger, radio comedian, and actor. Noble wrote both lyrics and music for many popular songs during the British dance band era, known as the "Golden Age of British music".
Lyrics:
Do you know why stars come out at night
It's curious the way they do
The answer is simply this
They love to look at you
Do you know why owls come out at night
and ask each other hoo-hoo-hoo.
The answer is simply this
They love to look at you
The wise old moon up yonder, the little clouds that wonder
They've all fallen under your spell
And I am a captive as well
Forever and ever.
Now you know why stars come out at night
They feel the same as I do too
They want to say that I may
Forever stay with you.
