The Original Broadway Cast of Cinderella
A Lovely Night
[ELLA]
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 good-bye
Away you fly
But on your lips you keep a kiss
All your life you’ll dream of this
Lovely, lovely night

[MADAME]
Charlotte, play the pianoforte

[CHARLOTTE, spoken]
Okay, but it’s not going to be good

(sung)
A lovely night
A lovely night
A finer night you know you’ll never see
[CHARLOTTE & GABRIELLE]
La la la, la la la, la la la

[ALL]
You meet (you meet) your prince (your prince)
A charming (a charming) prince
As charming as a prince will ever be!

[CHARLOTTE & GABRIELLE]
La la la la la la la la la

[ALL]
The stars in a hazy heaven
Tremble above you
While he is whispering

[MADAME]
“Darling, I love you!”

[ALL]
You say good-bye
Away you fly

[GABRIELLE & ELLA]
But on your lips you keep a kiss
[MADAME & CHARLOTTE]
All of your life you’ll dream of this

[ALL]
Lovely, lovely night

*[instrumental]*

[ALL]
The stars in a hazy heaven
Tremble above you
While he is whisp’ring

[GABRIELLE (as the Prince)]
“Darling, I love you”

[ALL]
You say goodbye
Away you fly
But on your lips you keep a kiss
All your life you dream of this
Lovely, lovely, lovely
Lovely night!
