Lyrics
- When the scented night of summer covers
Field and city with her veil of blue
All the lanes are full of straying lovers
Murmuring the words I say to you
Refrain
Just a little love, a little kiss
Just an hour that holds a world of bliss
Eyes that tremble like the stars above me
And the little word that says, “You love me!”
Just a little love, a little kiss
I would give you all my life for this
As I hold you fast and bend above you
And I hear you whispering, “I love you!”
- Night will pass and day will follow after
Other griefs and joys will come with day
Yet through all the weeping and the laughter
You will ever hear the words I say - You and I may change, like April weather
Other loves may call us, not in vain
But tonight at least is ours together
And the hour that will not come again
