Bill Sherman Quotes in By the Light of the Silvery Moon (1953)

Marjorie Winfield: Bill, it's so difficult for me to ask you to understand, but... Why I can't possibly think of marrying you right now. And I can't tell you why.

Bill Sherman: What do you mean you can't tell me? Why, I'm almost your husband! At least, I thought I was.

Marjorie Winfield: You will be. Someday. But for now Bill, couldn't you please be sweet and understanding?

Bill Sherman: But I don't want to be sweet and understanding! I want to be a husband!

Marjorie Winfield: Bill...

Bill Sherman: It never entered my mind, Marjorie, that you ever had any doubt about your feelings towards me. But now everything's quite obvious. You're not even sure I'm the man you want to marry!

Bill Sherman: [sings] From the day I whispered, "May I please hold your hand?"

[he kisses her hand gentlemanly]

Marjorie Winfield: [sings] You've progressed and I'm impressed and I think you're grand!

Marjorie Winfield, Bill Sherman: [sings] Your eyes have told me so.

Bill Sherman: [sings] Just one girl, only just one girl.

Bill Sherman: Marjorie, do you realize what this means? Instead of waiting, why we can be married right away.

Marjorie Winfield, Bill Sherman: [sings] By the light of the silvery moon, I want to spoon! / To my honey, I'll croon love's tune / Honey moon, keep a shining in June! / Your silvery beams will bring love's dreams / We'll be cuddling soon, by the silvery moon!
