On Such A Night As This

(앨범: Confessions - 2010)

There's something in the air that you can sense
Elusive but unbearably intense
The stars are hanging there in bright suspense
As they prepare to light immense events

On such a night as this
Did young Lorenzo swear
He'd gladly swim a thousand seas
To please his lady fair?

On such a night
Did Wagner write
'The Evening Star'
'Neath such a moon
Stood Lorna Doone
And Lochinvar

On such a night as this
Did gentle Juliet cry
"Forget that I'm a Capulet
And set me by thy side"?

Hurry, my sweet
Wings on your feet
You mustn't miss
The sheer delight
On such a night
As this

'Twas such a night as this
When Judy Garland swore
"I just adore him
How can I ignore the boy next door?"

On such a night
Did Gershwin write
His Rhapsody?
On such a set
Did young Jeanette
Sing, 'Lover come back to me'?

On such a night as this
Did Robert Taylor sigh
As Garbo gave a little cough
And wandered off to die?

Lately I find
I'm disinclined
To reminisce
Except, perhaps
On such a night as this
