Lyrics
The night was made for love
The night was made for love
The day has eyes for sweet delicate charms
But night time sighs for strong, hungry arms
To lovingly hold you, while two lips on fire
Have ardently told you of sweet desire
For, like caressing an empty glove
Is night without some love
The night was made for love
The night was made for love
Sung here by Vancha March:
