Someone's gone out fishing Someone's high and dry. Someone's on a mission to the lonely Lorelei. Some folk's got a vision of a castle in the sky And I'm left stranded, wondering why. You and me together Nothing feels so good Even if I get a medal from my local neighborhood I won't need a castle, they've got castles in Versailles And I'm still stranded, wondering why Make it a beautiful night for me It's a beautiful night for love A wonderful sight for lovers of love to behold Make it a beautiful night for me It's a beautiful night for love A wonderful sight for lovers of love to behold Some boat's on the ocean We're here in this room Seems to me the perfect way to spend an afternoon We can look for castles, pretty castles in the sky No more wondering, wondering why Things can go wrong, things can go right Things can go bump, in the dead of the night So let me be there, let me be there Let me be there with you in the dead of the night Make it a beautiful night for me It's a beautiful night for love A wonderful sight for lovers of love to behold Make it a beautiful night for me Such a beautiful night for love Such a wonderful sight for lovers of love to behold Yeah, it's a beautiful night Yeah, it's a beautiful night Yeah, beautiful night, beautiful night Yeah, it's such a beautiful night, beautiful, beautiful night Beautiful night, beautiful night, beautiful night Beautiful night, beautiful night, beautiful night Beautiful night, beautiful night, beautiful night Beautiful night, beautiful night, beautiful night Beautiful night, beautiful night, beautiful night Beautiful night, beautiful night, beautiful night Beautiful night, beautiful night, beautiful night Beautiful night, beautiful night, beautiful night
