It was a lovely night for our romance at sea
I never knew how wonderful romance could be
I never dreamt that such a miracle could be my lot
I cannot tell you what a pleasant thrill I got

Love at sight, on such a night
Believe me, the thought never entered my head
Then you smiled and spoke to me
I thought I was dreaming, I seemed to be all at sea

When you held me in your arms and kissed me
I woke with a start and I fled
I knew that I loved you, that you could love me too
Until you kissed me, the thought never entered my head

I never thought to meet a girl so sweet and kind
I I could only tell you all that's in my mind
To see you silhouetted there against those evening skies
No words do justice to the scene that met my eyes

Love at sight, on such a night
Believe me, the thought never entered my head
Then you smiled and spoke to me
I thought I was dreaming, I seemed to be all at sea

When you held me in your arms and kissed me
I woke with a start and I fled
I knew that I loved you, that you could love me too
Until you kissed me, the thought never entered my head
The thought never entered my head
