A Lovely Night

Lyrics By Oscar Hammerstein II  Music By Richard Rodgers

In a rare moment of group harmony, Cinderella, her stepsisters and stepmother join in a rollicking description of what happened (or must have happened) at the palace.

“A Lovely Night” LYRICS

A lovely night,
A lovely night,
A finer night you know you’ll never see.
You meet your prince,
A charming prince,
As charming as a prince will ever be!

The stars in a hazy heaven
Tremble above you
While he is whispering,
“Darling, I love you!”

You say goodbye,
Away you fly,
But on your lips you keep a kiss,
All your life you’ll dream of this
Lovely, lovely night.

The stars in a hazy heaven
Trembling above me,
Danced when he promised
Always to love me.

The day came through,
Away I flew,
But on my lips he left a kiss—
All my life I’ll dream of this
Lovely, lovely night.
