Verse:

A little smile, a little glance,
A little tune, a little dance,
A little romance steals into your heart.
A little blush, a little lie,
A little squeeze, a little sigh,
A little sorrow when you have to part:

Chorus 1:

When this lovely dance is over, 
Don't say, "Good-night";
Let me live this moment over, 
Don't say, "Good-night."
Oh, please don't break the spell,
I have so much to tell you;
Can't I compel you
To see the light?
Now that we are here together, 
Just hold me tight;
Why can't this go on forever?
Don't say, "Good-night."

Chorus 2:

When this lovely dance is over, 
Don't say, "Good-night";
Let me live this moment over, 
Don't say, "Good-night."
Oh, please don't break the spell,
I have so much to tell you;
Can't I compel you
To see the light?
Now that we are here together, 
Just hold me tight;
Why can't this go on forever?
Don't say, "Good-night."
Why can't this go on forever?
Don't say, "Good-night."
