Richard Rodgers feat. Oscar Hammerstein II - When You're Driving Through the Moonlight / A Lovely Night Lyrics

Lyrics When You're Driving Through the Moonlight / A Lovely Night - Richard Rodgers , Oscar Hammerstein II



When you're driving through the moonlight on the highway
When you're driving through the moonlight to the dance
You are breathless with a wild anticipation
Of adventure and excitement and romance
Then at last you see the towers of the palace
Silhouetted on the sky above the park
And below them is a row of lighted windows
Like a lovely diamond necklace in the dark!
I suppose that when you come into the ballroom
And the room itself is floating in the air
If you're suddenly confronted by His Highness
You are frozen like a statue on the stair
You're afraid he'll hear the way your heart is beating
And you know you mustn't make the first advance
You are seriously thinking of retreating—
Then you seem to hear him asking you to dance
May I have the pleasure?
He is tall and straight as a lance
And his hair is dark and wavy
His eyes can melt you with a glance
He can turn a girl to gravy!
A lovely night
A lovely night
A finer night you know you'll never see
You meet your prince
A charming prince
As charming as a prince will ever be!
The stars in a hazy heaven
Tremble above you
While he is whispering
"Darling, I love you!"
You say good-bye
Away you fly
But on your lips you keep a kiss
All your life you'll dream of this
Lovely, lovely night
A lovely night
A lovely night
A finer night you know you'll never see
You meet your prince (You meet your prince)
A charming prince
As charming as a prince will ever be!
The stars in a hazy heaven
Tremble above you
While he is whispering
"Darling, I love you!"
You say good-bye
Away you fly
But on your lips you keep a kiss
All your life you'll dream of this
Lovely, lovely night
A lovely night
A lovely night
A finer night you know you'll never see
You meet your prince (You meet your prince)
A charming prince
As charming as a prince will ever be!
The stars in a hazy heaven
Tremble above you
While he is whisp'ring
"Darling, I love you"
You say goodbye (You say goodbye)
Away you fly
But on your lips you keep a kiss
All your life you'll dream of this
Lovely, lovely, lovely
Lovely night!
