Al Bowlly acc. by orchestra, directed by Ray Noble
Isn't it a lovely night?
Never saw the stars so bright
Love has made it all sublime
Who'd believe there was a time, when
The night was nothing but an empty thing
Darkness would fill me with sighs
I never knew the beauty night could bring
Until you opened my eyes
I saw the flowers blooming on the hill
Rivers reflecting the skies
But in their loveliness I found no thrill
Until you opened my eyes
My heart was deep in dreamless sleep
And then you touched my hand
It suddenly awakened me
To find a world so grand
Your kiss revealed a thousand wondrous scenes
Each one a lovely surprise
Within your arms I learned what heaven means
Oh, love you opened my eyes
I never knew the beauty night could bring
Until you opened my eyes
But in their loveliness I found no thrill
Until you opened my eyes
My heart was deep in dreamless sleep
And then you touched my hand
It suddenly awakened me
To find a world so grand
Your kiss revealed a thousand wondrous scenes
Each one a lovely surprise
Within your arms I learned what heaven means
Oh love, opened my eyes
