- This song was brought to my attention after stumbling upon the sheet music accidentally online and seeing Frank's face plastered on it. After doing some researching I noticed the song was not only lacking the lyrics to be easily accessible online, but also I only found one other performance of this lovely song. To remedy that, I am providing the second ever posted version of this song by none other than the man himself during his swooner years. I am also including the written lyrics as sung in the description, as well as a toggleable time synchronized closed caption. I would also like to note I did not see a version of this song for sale on any CD whether it was official or bootleg. It's safe to assume the only possible way to have this is through the original transcription disc it was recorded on. This is the only time Frank had ever performed this song.

Lyrics (as sung):
Little did I know when I met you
I would learn to worship you so
Thought I'd kiss and then forget you
Little did I know
Little did I dream your caresses
Meant more than a passing hello
Now my foolish heart confesses
Little did I know
April in the moonlight
The thrill of a June night
Those bicycle rides with you
Christmas and Thanksgiving
The rapture of living
Were things that I never knew
You were like a star far above me
I was just a dreamer below
Little did I dream you'd love me
Little did I know
April in the moonlight
The thrill of a June night
Those bicycle rides with you
Christmas and Thanksgiving
The rapture of living
Were things that I never knew
You were like a star far above me
I was just a dreamer below
Little did I dream you'd love me
Little did I know
