Lyrics
It’s a beautiful night
An occasion for getting poetic
For the setting is right
And I feel that you’re sympathetic
But when it comes to pretty phrases
Somehiw, tonight I’m dumb as blazes
Can’t find words to convey
All the things that I’d love to say
Chorus
To make it short and sweet, I love you
To make it short and sweet, be mine
For, to get right to the point, the moon’s above you
Time is short, love is sweet, so don’t decline
The night is positively perfect
A million stars with love-light shine
So, to make it short and sweet
Darling, I repeat, I love you, be mine
