Lyrics
When you’re looking at a Rose thro’ the eyes of love
A Rose has a lovelier blush to it
When you’re gazing at a brook thro’ the eyes of love
The Brook has a friendlier hush to it
Raindrops falling on the street become
A picture of a rippling stream
When you’re looking at the world thro’ the eyes of love
It seems like you’re living in a dream
CHORUS
The moon never seemed so mellow before
The breeze never sounded like a cello before
My, what a different night!
Different from the many nights I’ve known
The stars never danced on a lady’s lips before
And Heaven never seemed at my fingertips before
My, what a different night!
Maybe it’s because we’re here alone
I guess that it’s the spell of you
It’s all so new, so strange
I’m sure that it’s the spell of you
And oh, what a glorious change
My heart never beat so thrillingly before
Your arms never answered quite so willingly before
My, what a different night!
It happened the moment you told me
To call you my own
