Lyrics
Some like a night at the movies
Some like a dance or a show
Some are content with an evening spent
At home, by the radio
Some like to live for the moment
Some like to just reminisce
But whenever I have an evening to spend
Just give me one like this
Refrain
This is a lovely way to spend an evening
Can’t think of anything I’d rather do
This is a lovely way to spend an evening
Can’t think of anyone as lovely as you
A casual stroll thru a garden
A kiss by a lazy lagoon
Catching a breath of moonlight
Humming our favorite tune
This is a lovely say to spend an evening
I want to save all my nights
And spend them with you
