Roman candles light up the midnight sky
I hear the bells of St. Matthew's ringing
A mariachi band goes walking by
And in the black night, the birds are singing
They sing a song of sweetness, they sing a song of joy
And then they take wing and fly off together

Without a word between us, without a word we knew
Without a word, we knew there's love between us
Hand in hand we walk, heart to heart we talk
We will talk about things we did today
And then talk about things we will do some other day
And then we will say goodnight, but right now let's kiss
I'm glad you're a girl

You light up the night like a roman candle
