Lyrics
- Music divine and the glit’ring lights
Beautiful, wonderful night of nights
This old world seem’d Heav’n above
One little minute of love
Chorus
Some night, some waltz
Some wonderful girl
It was a dream of delight
I shall never forget when our fond lips met
It was some kiss, some bliss
Two hearts in a whirl
Life’s only hope just to live it again
Some night, some waltz, some girl
- Whisper’s of love ‘neath the shady palms
Fondly I clasp’d you within my arms
There in the maze of the dance
Life was a whirl of romance
