LYRICS

It was a night, ooh oh, what a night

It was, it really was such a night

The moon was bright, oh, how 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 oh, 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 oh, 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 oh, 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 oh, 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 oh, 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

Such a night!
