Lyrics
When I see the night
My heart is lost in flight
To some enchanted land beyond the blue
And oh, how beautiful is night with you
Stars awaken, rise and shine
Before my eyes
I’m in a wonderland
I never knew
And oh, how beautiful is night with you
The moon is new
And love holds me fast
And you are mine at last
We kiss and then
My heart sings again
When I see the night
My dreams will hold you tight
I know I’ll find you
When each day is through
And oh, how beautiful is night with you
