THE MOST EXCITING NIGHT
(Jerome Kern)

Sung by Howard Keel < Lovely To Look At > 1952



What the most exciting night you remember
Whose the most exciting person you have met
Was there one fantastic kiss in the moonlight
One you'll never forget.

If you loved me you could answer so simply
If you love me you would joyfully agree
That the most exciting night you remember
Was your last one with me.

If you loved me you could answer so simply
If you love me you would joyfully agree
That the most exciting night you remember
Was your last one with me.
