Lyrics for Little White Lies

The moon was all aglow But heaven was in your eyes The night that you told me Those little white lies The stars all seemed to know 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 evenin' appears I sigh but there's no regretting In spite of my tears Who wouldn't believe those lips Who wouldn't believe those eyes The night that you told me Those little white lies I try, but there's no forgetting When evenin' 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 Those lies Teeny-weeny little white lies
