Lyrics

I love the magic of the moon on the rise
And I’m a fool about the stars in the skies
But, oh, the starlight in your eyes, darling
This I love above all

I love the music at the end of the day
The crickets calling and the breeze on its way
But, oh, the music when you say, “Darling”
This I love above all

I can’t get over the spell o’ the thunder
When all at once a million drums begin to beat
I can’t get over this wonderful wonder
That sweet excitement ev’ry time we meet

I love the feeling of the wind and the rain
That lovely feeling that no words can explain
But ev’ry time we kiss again, darling
Other wonders seem small, darling
This I love above all
