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
