The stars begin to peep
The birdies go to sleep
In the air something seems to say
Go hit the hay, call it a day
A lazy summer breeze
Is idling round the trees
As the sun gently fades away

There’s your hand in my hand
And there’s twigs in your hair
There’s the sky and your eyes
And I haven’t a care
There are stars high above
There am I with my love
No-one else is in sight
What a night, what a night !

Oh my darling, my sweet
I have waited so long
But now life is complete
Just a beautiful song
Since your eyes and my eyes
Share the same bit of sky
And your little hand is in my hand

There’s your hand in my hand
And there’s twigs in your hair
There’s the sky and your eyes
And I haven’t a care
There are stars high above
There am I with my love
No-one else is in sight
What a night, what a night !

Oh my darling, my sweet
I have waited so long
But now life is complete
Just a beautiful song
Since your eyes and my eyes
Share the same bit of sky
And your little hand is in my hand
