Lyrics + translation · letras.mus.br

🎤 Sing along

Sing with the chorus

  • A fantabulous night to make romance
  • 'Neath the cover of October skies
  • And all the leaves on the trees are falling
  • To the sound of the breezes that blow

Echo the hook

  • On a magic night
  • La, la, la, la, la, in the moonlight
  • On a magic night
  • Can't I just have one more, more dance with you, my love?
