Lyrics
‘Twas just a night like this
Filled with bliss
You led my heart astray
‘Twas just a real sweet chance
To learn romance in a perfect way
It was the end of a perfect day, Say
Chorus
The moon was all aglow
And heaven was in your eyes
The night that you told me
Those little white lies
The stars all seemed to know
That you didn’t mean all those sighs
The night that you told me
Those little white lies
I try but there’s no forgetting
When evening appears
I sigh but there’s no regretting
In spite of my tears
The devil was in your heart
But heaven was in your eyes
The night that you told me
Those little white lies
Chorus
The moon was all aglow
And heaven was in your eyes
The night that you told me
Those little white lies
The stars all seemed to know
That you didn’t mean all those sighs
The night that you told me
Those little white lies
I try but there’s no forgetting
When evening appears
I sigh but there’s no regretting
In spite of my tears
Who wouldn’t believe those lips
Who ever could doubt those eyes?
The night that you told me
Those little white lies
