Nighttime found us, happiness around us
Church bells ringing, day is done
They'll be ringing when we're one

Evening's blessing, you and I caressing
Music, moonlight, melody
Only there for you and me

It was so beautiful, so wonderful
So gorgeous and divine
And you were mine
And you were mine

It was so beautiful, so marvellous
The stars above us shone
We were alone
We were alone

The time was right
The Moon was low
I held you tight
Oh, how could I let you go

It was so beautiful, so marvellous
So gorgeous and divine
And you were mine
And you were mine
