LAST NIGHT A MIRACLE HAPPENED
Oscar Levant / Jack Lawrence  1938

as recorded by Thomas "Fats" Waller & his Rhythm 
1938 


Last night a miracle happened,
Last night the first time we met.
The spell you cast maketh over me, over me, yes!

Last night a miracle happened,
You smiled and that was the start.
At once I found myself losing my heart.
(yes, I lost my heart but I didn't mind!)

One moment, two strangers standing face to face,
(face to face I mean!)
Next moment near to you, dear to you,
Lost in an endless embrace.

Last night a miracle happened,
I know what I'm speaking of,
Because that miracle happened to be love.

Last night a miracle happened,
I know what I'm speaking of,
Because that miracle happened,
Happened to be love, love, love, yes love!
