Lyrics

  1. Nighttime found us
    Happiness around us
    Church bells ringing, day is done
    They’ll be ringing when we’re one
    Evening’s blessing
    You and I caressing
    Music, moonlight, melody
    Only there for you and me

Chorus
It was so beautiful, so wonderful
So gorgeous, so divine
And you were mine, and you were mine
It was so beautiful, so marvellous
The stars above us shone
We were alone, we were alone
The time was right, the moon was low
I held you tight
How could I let you go?
It was so beautiful, so marvellous
So gorgeous, so divine
And you were mine, and you were mine

  1. Day had ended
    Stars and dreams were blended
    Curfew bells rang their “goodnight”
    Telling us the world was right
    In night’s glory
    There we told our story
    It was music to my ears
    I’ll remember thru the years
