Lyrics
- Nighttime found us
Happiness around us
Church bells ringing, day is done
They’ll be ringing when we’re one
Evening’s blessing
You and I caressing
Music, moonlight, melody
Only there for you and me
Chorus
It was so beautiful, so wonderful
So gorgeous, so divine
And you were mine, and you were mine
It was so beautiful, so marvellous
The stars above us shone
We were alone, we were alone
The time was right, the moon was low
I held you tight
How could I let you go?
It was so beautiful, so marvellous
So gorgeous, so divine
And you were mine, and you were mine
- Day had ended
Stars and dreams were blended
Curfew bells rang their “goodnight”
Telling us the world was right
In night’s glory
There we told our story
It was music to my ears
I’ll remember thru the years
