"Night Like Tonight" lyrics

As we danced in the moonlight in the garden
With your hair falling low across my hand
Your summer dress, the flowers and the cotton
I think God, the DJ and the band

So don't say goodbye
Maybe time will decide
To give us forever
Swaying side by side
That would be heaven
Beneath the diamond sky
I'll be waiting
My whole life
For a night like tonight
A night like tonight

Despite all my best intentions
Oh and plans made an earnest and haste
Nowhere in my wild imagination
Could I find myself needing you this way

So just close your eyes
Don't be shy
It's all right
All we're doing is dancing
Swaying side by side
This must be heaven
To a perfect lullaby
I'll be waiting
My whole life
For a night like tonight
A night like tonight

Ain't it funny how it happens
How the world just fades away
And in spite of all my talking
I've got nothing left to say
I'm just staring at your face
As this evening
This evening
Slips away

So just close your eyes
Don't be shy
It's all right
Dancing together
Swaying side by side
This must be heaven
Beneath the diamond sky
I'll be waiting
My whole life
For a night like tonight
A night like tonight
A night like tonight
