- Chorus:
When you are in love,
- It's the loveliest night
of the year,
Stars twinkle above,
- And you almost can touch
them from here.
Words fall into rhyme,
- Any time you are holding
me near.
When you are in love,
It's the loveliest night of the year.
-
- Bridge:
- Waltzing along in the blue,
- Like a breeze drifting over
the sand,
Thrilled by the wonder of you,
- And the wonderful touch
of your hand,
-
- Ending:
- And my heart starts to beat,
- Like a child when a birthday
is near,
So, kiss me my sweet,
- It's the loveliest night
of the year.
