The falling light of failing Sun
Melts into an evening blue
And here is night and I'm the one
Favoured to be here with you
I thank the stars above
That these happy hours are by

The night is young and the Moon is riding high
The night is young and so am I
A cricket sighs and I hear you sighing, too
The night is young and so are you

And through it all I can hear your beauty call
Like a shy persuading whisper in the sweet stillness
My heart is yours, just as yours belongs to me
The night is young and so are we
