Lyrics
It was a night ooh what a night
It was, it really was such a night
The moon was bright, oh, how so bright
It was, it really was such a night
The night was alight with stars above
Ooh, when she kissed me
I had to fall in love
Oh, it was a kiss ooh what a kiss
It was, it really was such a kiss
Oh, how she could kiss, oh what a kiss
It was, it really was such a kiss
Just the thought of her lips sets me afire
I reminisce and I’m filled with desire
But I’d gave my heart to her in sweet surrender
How well I remember, I’ll always remember
Oh, what a night ooh what a night
It was, it really was such a night
Came the dawn and my heart and her love
And the night was gone
But I’ll never forget the kiss, the kiss in the moonlight
Ooh, such a kiss, such a night
It was a night ooh what a night
It was, it really was such a night
Came the dawn and my heart and her love
And the night was gone
But I’ll never forget the kiss, the kiss in the moonlight
How well I remember, I’ll always remember
That night ooh what a night
It was, it really was such a night
When we kissed, I had to fall in love
But I’d gave my heart to her in sweet surrender
How well I remember, I’ll always remember
Oh, that night ooh what a night
It was, it really was such a night
When we kissed, I had to fall in love
Well she’s gone, gone, gone
Yes, she’s gone, gone, gone
Came the dawn, dawn, dawn, and my love was gone
But before that dawn, yes, before that dawn and before that dawn
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Such a night
