On Such a Night As This - Liza Minnelli

On Such a Night As This - Liza Minnelli
There's something in the air that you can sense
Elusive but unbearably intense
The stars are hanging there in bright suspense
As they prepare to light immense events
On such a night as this
Did young Lorenzo swear
He'd gladly swim a thousand seas
To please his lady fair
On such a night
Did Wagner write
'The evening star'
'Neath such a moon
Stood Lorna done
And Lochinvar
On such a night as this
Did gentle Juliet cry
Forget that I'm a Capulet
And set me by thy side
Hurry my sweet
Wings on your feet
You mustn't miss
The sheer delight
On such a night
As this
'Twas such a night as this
When Judy garland swore
I just adore him
How can I ignore the boy next door
On such a night
Did Gershwin write
His rhapsody
On such a set
Did young Jeanette
Sing 'lover come back to me'
On such a night as this
Did Robert Taylor sigh
As Garbo gave a little cough
And wandered off to die
Lately I find
I'm disinclined
To reminisce
Except perhaps
On such a night as this
