Lyric
🎵 Let’s sing along with the lyrics! 🎤
Hold me tight
The moon’s so bright
Tonight is so right for loveNow’s the time to say
You’re the only one
Tonight is so right for loveOne by one the stars appear
They twinkle in your eyes
Who’d believe that we’d be here
So near to paradiseThis could be the kiss
To unlock heaven’s door
That magic hour of bliss
That we both waited for
I love more and moreOh’ we could fly right up to the sky
The things we’ve been dreaming of
And how real they would seem
A midsummernight’s dream
Can’t you see that tonight’s so right for loveAnd how real they would seem
A midsummernight’s dream
Can’t you see that tonight’s so right for loveHold me tight
The moon’s so bright
Tonight is so right for love
