On a Misty Night / Gipsy
When the light of day fades into the sea
And the night is veiled in a mystery,
Baby, right here's right where I want to be.
Love found me...
On a warm, misty night like this,
I can't resist all your charms.
(Dig those charms!)
Until dawn, Darlin', I insist
that I exist in your arms.
(I need to be there in your arms)
We've only moment
(Make the moment ours and own it.)
So why don't we hold onto the night?
(Hold on, dawn can wait)
And if we can hold it,
The moment is yours and mine.
(While we're sealin' our fate!)
We're sealin' our fate!
Love was born from a moment's bliss
With you on this misty night.
Love came without a warnin'.
We're holdin' it near till mornin' is here.
Now the myst'ry is clear with you, my dear!
's'all right, now we're together,
If not forever, at least till mornin'.
Only the two of us,
'cept maybe that ol' man up in the moon above.
He's shinin' his light on love,
'cause he's in on our secret.
The stars on high wink their eyes in sync to our groove.
They know I'm lucky bein' here with you,
And I hope that they, like me, will see this magic moment through.
Our warm an' misty night should really last forevermore.
Oh, Darlin', say that it's real,
not just another dream in the mornin'.
I dig all your charms!
Right here in your arms!
Let the mornin' wait,
While we seal our fate!
It's a beautiful night, the stars shinin' bright on you, Dear.
What a wonderful sight that my eyes alone behold.
When two people are one till dawn and beyond tomorrow,
Can there be any doubt?
Our love will win out I know.
Yesterday's troubles all left behind.
Sippin' on bubbles, one thing in mind.
With the moon in your eyes, beneath starry skies I hold you.
What a sweet alibi. It's amazing what love can do!
On an autumn night like this,
Darlin', I can't resist
you an' your charms!
Drums
Now, my darlin', I insist
Till the dawn I exist
