Lyrics

  1. Last night I heard you say you love me
    Last night I saw my dreams come true
    And as the morning broke above me
    My dreams were broken, too

Chorus
Last night I was in heaven
And then came the dawn
Holding you tight was heaven
And then you were gone
With lips to lips and both our hearts in tune
Somebody had to go and move the moon
Last night I was in heaven
And then came the dawn too soon

  1. When evening shadows are descending
    Love sings her sweetest melodies
    But then why should there be an ending
    To happy memories
