When you're driving trough the moonlight
(Julie:)
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.
(Alice:)
It looks that way,
The way you say,
(Ilka:)
She talks as if she knows.
(Julie:)
I do not know these things are so,
I only just suppose.
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.
You make a bow, A timid bow,
And shyly answer, "Yes."
(Ilka:)
How would you know that this is so?
(Julie:)
I do no more than guess.
(Kaye, Alice:)
You can guess till you're blue in the face,
But you can't even picture such a man!
He is more than a prince,
He's an ace!
(Julie:)
But, Sisters, I really think I can!
(Kaye:)
Can what?
(Julie:)
I think I can picture such a man.
(Kaye, Alice:)
He is tall.....
(Julie:)
And straight as a lance,
(Kaye, Alice:)
And his hair.......
(Julie:)
Is dark and wavy,
(Kaye, Alice:)
His eyes.........
(Julie:)
Can melt you with a glance
(Kaye, Alice:)
He can turn a girl to gravy.
(Julie:)
When he walses he whirls you around so that your feet never touch the floor
(Kaye, Alice:)
That's right, they don't
(Julie:)
And he makes you feel that you way nothing at all
(Kaye, Alice:)
That's right, it does
(Julie:)
He leads you around the crowded ball and went out on to the terrace
(Kaye, Alice:)
That's right, he does
Didn't he lead you out on the terrace?
I guess he did
I was so faint with joy I didn't know what was happening to me
Me too
(Julie:)
Out on the terrace you stopped dancing
(Kaye, Alice:)
yes
(Julie:)
you walk
(Kaye, Alice:)
yes
(Julie:)
you stop walking
(Kaye, Alice:)
yes
(Julie:)
you talk and then
(Kaye, Alice:)
you stop talking?
(Julie:)
that's right
(Kaye, Alice:)
then?
(Julie:)
you start thinking
(Kaye, Alice:)
ohw
start thinking what?
(Julie:)
oh how wonderful it all is
(Kaye, Alice:)
how wonderful what all is?
(Julie:)
everything
