As night falls around us love’s tender embrace replaces the sun’s golden light
Then love show us beauty that only love can describe love you’re so beautiful tonight
As you fill our hearts with tenderness and emotions inside
Lost in each other with the world closed outside
Oh this must be like heaven it’s heaven to you and I love you’re so beautiful tonight

Your nearness in the silence your rapid heartbeat
Your face touching mine then you whisper on my cheek
I’ll love you till the stars in the heavens lose their lights
Oh love you’re so beautiful tonight
As you fill our hearts…
I’ll love you till the stars…
