This is the night, now is the time
I feel your heart a-beatin' close to mine
This is the night, you are the girl
You got the lovin', best in the world
This is the night, with any luck
I'll have your love-love-lovin' before the sun comes up

This is the night, how can I tell?
I got that feelin' that I know so well
This is the night, you are the girl
You got the lovin', best in the world
This is the night, with any luck
I'll have your love-love-lovin' before the sun comes up

This is the night, the time is near
I'm gonna whisper sweet things in your ear
This is the night, you are the girl
You got the lovin', best in the world
This is the night, with any luck
I'll have your love-love-lovin' before the sun comes up
