Lyrics
The failing light of falling sun
Melts into an deepening blue
And here is night and I’m the one
Favored to be here with you
I thank the stars that shine
That these happy hours are mine
Chorus:
The night is young and the moon is riding high
The night is young and so am I
A cricket sighs and I hear you sighing, too
The night is young and so are you
And through it all I can hear your beauty call
Like a shy persuading whisper in the sweet stillness
My heart is yours, just as yours belongs to me
The night is young and so are we
