London by night is a wonderful sight
There is magic abroad in the air
I´m often told that the streets turn into gold
When the moon shines on Circus and Square

Deep in the dark that envelops the park
There´s romance in each cigarette glow
Down by the Thames, lights that sparkle like gems
Seem to wink at each girl and her beau

Up comes the moon when the city´s asleep
He´s not alone, for it seems
Somewhere up there stands an angel to keep her watch
While each Londoner dreams

My love and I saw the sun leave the sky
Then we kissed in the fast-fading light
Most people say they love London by day
But lovers love London by night
