Lyrics
It’s a grand night for singing
The moon is flying high
And somewhere a bird who is bound he’ll be heard
Is throwing his heart at the sky
It’s a grand night for singing
The stars are bright above
The earth is aglow and to add to the show
I think I am falling in love
Falling, falling in love
Interlude
Maybe it’s more than the moon
Maybe it’s more than the birds
Maybe it’s more than the sight of the night
In a light too lovely for words
Maybe it’s more than the earth
Shiny in silvery blue
Maybe the reason I’m feeling this way
Has something to do with you
