A Lovely Night Lyrics and Video<\/p>\n
When you’re driving through the moonlight on the highway
\nWhen you’re driving through the moonlight to the dance,
\nYou are breathless with a wild anticipation
\nOf adventure, and excitement, and romance.
\nThen at last you see the towers of the palace
\nSilouetted on the sky above the park,
\nAnd below them is a row of lighted windows
\nLike a lovely diamond necklace in the dark.<\/p>\n
It looks that way,
\nThe way you say,<\/p>\n
She talks as if she knows.<\/p>\n
I do not know these things are so,
\nI only just suppose.
\nI suppose that when you come into the ballroom,
\nAnd the room itself is floating in the air.
\nIf you’re suddenly confronted by His Highness,
\nYou are frozen like a statue on the stair.
\nYou’re afraid he’ll hear the way your heart is beating,
\nAnd you know you mustn’t make the first advance.
\nYou are seriously thinking of retreating
\nThen you seem to hear him asking you to dance.
\nYou make a bow,
\nA timid bow,
\nAnd shyly answer, “Yes.”<\/p>\n
How would you know that this is so?<\/p>\n
I do no more than guess.<\/p>\n
You can guess till you’re blue in the face,
\nBut you can’t even picture such a man!
\nHe is more than a prince,
\nHe’s an ace!<\/p>\n
But, Sisters, I really think I can! (Can what?)
\nI think I can picture such a man.<\/p>\n
He is tall<\/p>\n
And straight as a lance,<\/p>\n
And his hair<\/p>\n
Is dark and wavy,
\nHis eyes<\/p>\n
Can melt you with a glance<\/p>\n
He can turn a girl to gravy.<\/p>\n
A lovely night,
\nA lovely night,
\nA finer night you know you’ll never see.
\nYou meet your prince,
\nA charming prince,
\nAs charming as a prince will ever be.
\nThe stars in a hazy heaven
\nTremble above you
\nWhile he is whispering
\n“Darling, I love you.”
\nYou say good-bye,
\nAway you’ll fly,
\nBut on your lips you’ll keep a kiss,
\nAll your life you’ll dream of this
\nLovely, lovely night!<\/p>\n
