Tonight You Belong to Me
Recorded by Patience & Prudence, 1956
(Topped the charts at #4 and #26 for the year)
I know (I know)
You belong to somebody new
But Tonight you belong to me
Although (although) we're apart
Your part of my heart
And tonight you belong to me
Way down by the stream
How sweet it will seem
Once more just to dream
In the moonlight
My honey I know (I know)
With the dawn that you will be gone
But tonight you belong to me
Way down, way down along the stream
How very, very sweet it will seem
Once more just to dream
In the silvery moonlight
My honey, I know (I know)
With the dawn that you will be gone
But tonight you belong to me
Just to little old me

Daughters of orchestra leader Mark McIntyre, Patience & Prudence
were all of 14 and 11 years old when they hit the Top Four in 1956
with 'Tonight You Belong to Me', and they went on to score several
more hits for Liberty before leaving the music industry for good at
the end of the decade. However, despite having a recording legacy
consisting of little more than a few singles, '50s pop and rock fans
have been "patiently" awaiting reissue of their work; that's probably
because their harmonies were among the most bewitching of the era.
