Lyrics
- Just one summer night of tenderness
Made a lonely heart confess
Of a love divine
Just one summer night meant happiness
When I heard you whisper “Yes”
And it made you mine
Chorus
You took my lips
And sprinkled them with twilight
Oh what a night
The night when love was born
You took my eyes
And thrilled them with a June night
I blessed the night
That night when love was born
The trees discovered us
Beside a silver stream
With leaves they covered us
So we could dream and dream
You took my heart
And dipped it in the moonlight
That wondrous night
The night when love was born
- Summer, summer night so heavenly
That was when you came to me
Like a guiding star
Summer, summer night of ecstacy
Proved that you were meant for me
And now here we are
