Lyrics

(Da-dooby-dooby-do)
(Da-dooby-dooby-do)
(Da-dooby-dooby-do)
(Da-dooby-dooby-do)
It was a night, ooh, what a night
It was, it really was such a night
The moon was bright, ooh, how bright
It was, it really was such a night
The night was alight with stars above
Ooh, when she kissed me
I had to fall in love
Ooh, it was a kiss
Ooh, what a kiss it was
It really was such a kiss
How she could kiss
Ooh, what a kiss it was
It really was such a kiss
Just the thought of her lips
Sets me afire
I reminisce
And, I'm filled with desire
I gave my heart to her in sweet surrender
(Do-wah-do-wah, do-wah-do-wah)
How well I remember
(Do-wah-do-wah, do-wah-do-wah)
I'll always remember
Ooh, that night
Ooh, what a night it was
It really was such a night
Came the dawn, and my heart and her love
And the night were gone
But, I know I'll never forget
Her kiss in the moonlight
Ooh, such a kiss, ooh-ooh, such a night
I gave my heart to her in sweet surrender
(Do-wah-do-wah, do-wah-do-wah)
How well I remember
(Do-wah-do-wah, do-wah-do-wah)
I'll always remember
Ooh, that night
Ooh, what a night it was
It really was such a night
Came the dawn, and my heart and her love
And the night were gone
But, I know I'll never forget
Her kiss in the moonlight
Ooh, such a kiss, oh, such a night
Now, she's gone, gone, gone
Yes, she's gone, gone, gone
Came the dawn, dawn, dawn
And the night was gone
And my heart was gone
And her love was gone
And before that dawn
Oh, such a night
