A Lovely Night

When you're driving through the moonlight on the highway

When you're driving through the moonlight to a dance

You are breathless with the wild anticipation

Of adventure and excitement and romance

Then at last you see the towers of the palace

Silhouetted in the sky above the park

And below there is a row of lighted windows

Like a lovely diamond necklace in the dark

I suppose that when you come into the ballroom

And the room itself is floating in the air

You are suddenly confronted by his highness

And you're frozen like a statue on the stair

You're afraid he'll hear the way your heart is beating

And you know you mustn't make the first advance

You are seriously thinking of retreating

When it seems to you he's asking you to dance

A lovely night

A lovely night

A finer night you know you'll never see

You meet your prince

A charming prince

As charming as a prince will ever be

The stars in the hazy heaven

Tremble above you

While he will whisper

"Darling, I love you"

You say goodbye

Away you'll fly

But on your lips you keep a kiss

All your life you'll dream of this

Lovely, lovely night

You say goodbye

Away you'll fly

But on your lips you keep a kiss

All your life you'll dream of this

Lovely, lovely night
