Lyrics
You’re in love, I’m in love
What are we waiting for?
Why do we both ignore this gorgeous night
Those lovely stars
This sentimental moonlight?
Refrain
Let’s make memories tonight
Won’t you take me in your arms
And hold me tight?
So tomorrow I can say
Wasn’t that a lovely yesterday?
Let’s make memories tonight
Who knows, love may pass us by
If we stop to reason
Where or when or why
It’s so foolish to conceal
What our hearts are trying to reveal
Let’s make memories tonight
Let this be the night of nights for you
The night of nights for me
The night of nights that we can remember
We may never, never part
You may never ever have a change of heart
But, my darling, if you do
I can live again this night with you
Let’s make memories tonight
