Night brings gay dreams                        
Gone are day dreams
While we dance
All the world becomes
A garden of romance and moonlight
On this June night
Love sends an invitation to the dance.

(Durbin hums)

At love's call
One and all
Are captured and enraptured.

(Durbin hums)

Love sends an invitation to the dance.

Music playing

(Durbin hums)

While we're swaying

(Durbin hums)

Youth has a gay time
When life is May time
Then comes a day
When it fades away.

(Durbin hums)

These magic hours of moonlight
And flowers are flying on
They'll soon be gone.

(Durbin hums)

Nows a chance for sweet romance.

(Durbin hums)
