IT HAPPENED LAST NIGHT
(Earl Wilson / Leonard Whitcup / Slugger Wilson)
as recorded by Connie Francis
1962
Oh it happened last night, as we sat in the movies,
On the very first date, for you and for me.
Oh it happened last night, as we sat in the movies,
You were close by my side, as cute as can be.
There was a girl and a boy in the picture,
And I watched their romance unfold,
Making believe you and I were the sweethearts,
With love to have and to hold.
As they kissed on the screen, I felt your hand in mine dear,
And I started to thrill the way all lovers do.
Oh it happened last night,
At the movies with you!
There was a girl and a boy in the picture,
And I watched their romance unfold,
Making believe you and I were the sweethearts,
With love to have and to hold.
As they kissed on the screen, I felt your hand in mine dear,
And I started to thrill the way all lovers do.
Oh it happened last night,
At the movies with you!
Oh it happened last night,
At the movies with you!
Yeah it happened last night...
