A strawberry moon, a blueberry sky
Polka-dot stars shining on high
Everything's right
Oh, what a night for love

A lavender breeze, a summer perfume
Sycamore trees, roses in bloom
Everything's right
Oh, what a night for love

The air is cool
But warm are your lips
Warm is the touch
Of your fingertips

Some marshmallow clouds, silver lagoon
Somewhere a sweet lullaby tune
Everything's right
Oh, what a night for love

The air is cool
But warm are your lips
Warm is the touch
Of your fingertips

Some marshmallow clouds, silver lagoon
Somewhere a sweet lullaby tune
Everything's right
Oh, what a night for love

Everything's right
Oh, what a night for love
