Little White Lies    (1930)

It was just a night like this
Filled with bliss, you led my heart astray
It was just a real sweet chance
To learn romance in a perfect way
It was the end of a perfect day, say

The moon was all aglow and heaven was in your eyes
The night that you told me those little white lies
The stars all seemed to know
That you didn't mean all those sighs
The night that you told me, those little white lies

I try but there's no forgetting when evening appears
I sigh but there's no regretting in spite of my tears

The devil was in your heart
But heaven was in your eyes
The night that you told me those little white lies

You may be having fun and maybe you think you're wise
To do what you're doing with little white lies
Some day you'll meet someone and you'll suddenly realize
You don't feel like telling those little white lies

Some day you will love that somebody who you think is true
Some day you will find that someone is cheating on you
A smile will be on her lips but tears will be in your eyes
Your heart will be broken by little white lies

Lyrics by Walter Donaldson.
Recorded by Fred Waring's Pennsylvanians with Clare Hanlon and The Waring Girls; Guy Lombardo.
