Sweet music soft and mellow
Soothing and low
Strains of a mellow cello
When lights are low

Dear, we're so close together
I love you so
Why think about the weather
When light are low

Two hearts revealing
Music hath charms
Life's so appealing
With inspiration in your arms

Our lips meeting soft and tender
Loves all aglow
Why shouldn't we surrender
When lights are low

(Orchestral Interlude)

Two hearts revealing
Music hath charms
Life's so appealing
With inspiration in your arms

Our lips meeting soft and tender
Loves all aglow
Why shouldn't we surrender
When lights are low
