London By Night

London by night is a wonderful sight

There is magic abroad in the air

I'm often told that the streets turn to gold

When the moon shines on Circus and Square

Deep in the dark that envelops the park

There's romance in each cigarette's glow

Down by the Thames, lights that sparkle like gems

Seem to wink at each girl and her beau

Up comes the moon when the city's asleep

He's not alone, for it seems

Somewhere up there stands an angel to keep her watch

While each Londoner dreams

My love and I saw the sun leave the sky

Then we kissed in the fast-fading light

Most people say they love London by day

But lovers love London by night
