Lyrics
Day is ending, night descending
Heaven’s a moonlit shore
Love compels us, nature tells us
We should not ask for more
Refrain:
Every little star in the sky
Closes one eye
Dear, on a night like this
Every little song bird above
Sings to his love
Dear, on a bight like this
Every living thing seems to live for another
Filling the wide world with bliss
And if they do, why can’t we two?
Dear, on a night like this
