This Is the Night Lyrics

as rec by Frank Sinatra w Orch cond by Axel Stordahl
July 24th 1946 Hollywood
Come to me,
Come to me,
This is the night,
Our night for ecstasy!
A nightingale lifts up its voice
And trills to the moon above;
Look on the thrills of love,
Here in the night.

Hold me dear,
Closer dear,
This is the night,
One night to live a year!
The wind in the tree heaves a sigh
And whispers, "No more, goodbye!",
Making me vow that I
Will not let our love die!
Oh, my sweet one,
My complete one,
Take my love,
This is the night!
Hold me dear,
Closer dear,
This is the night,
One night to live a year!
The wind in the tree heaves a sigh
And whispers, "No more, goodbye!",
Making me vow that I
Will not let our love die!
Oh, my sweet one,
My complete one,
Take my love,
This is the night!
