I remember that first night we met, Dancing to the sounds of clarinets, Dancing cheek to cheek, oh how sweet, You and me and this fantasy, Oh I remember our first night. I remember how we carried on, On and on until the light of dawn. From the very start, you stole my heart, I knew right then we would never part, Oh I remember that first night. Remember that first night, Remember that first night. I saw your love light through the candle's glow, Champagne was flowing, and so I let myself go, And when the night was over, we both looked around the room, Remember darling, chairs on the table, and only me and you I remember how we carried on, On and on until the light of dawn, And from the very start, you stole my heart, I knew right then we would never part. I remember that first night Remember that first night, Remember that first night, Remember that first night.
