A night of splendour
And sweet surrender
And now a sad adieu
Why must there always be farewell

All through tomorrow
I'll live in sorrow
Till ev'ning brings me you
And once again I dwell
Within your charming spell

Adieu! Why must I say adieu to you
The night is young, the moon is new
And we're in love we two
Adieu!

Don't take away your loveliness
I want to stay in your caress
And thrill the long night through

Oh can't you hear as we part
The voice of my heart crying
It cries as never before
For one hour more of love
Adieu!

Why must there be a parting kiss
Why can't we just go on like this
And never say Adieu!
