Lyrics

On a Night Like This

The moon smiles a Cheshire Cat smile dressed in her pearly gown
Stars tumble and fall on a night like this showering wishes down
The boys have stopped their fighting. The girls say, “It’s alright.”
And every mother’s child has come home tonight

You can almost smell the ocean though it’s a hundred or more miles away
If you blur your eyes just right, you might see the Milky Way
So kiss me long and kiss me deep. I’ll watch you while you sleep
New lovers swoon while old ones’ comfort keep

On a night like this, a night like this
No one wakes up quite the same after a night like this

Laughing and fireflies fill the air. Kids all dance the street light dance
Their mothers call and those children stall like they’ll never get another chance
But something grand is coming. You can feel it in the wind
Or maybe it’s just some angel spreading her wings

On a night like this, a night like this
No one wakes up quite the same after a night like this
