Johnny Mathis:
Tender is the night
So tender is the night
There's no one in the world
Except the two of us
Should tomorrow
Find us disenchanted
We have shared a love
That few have known
Summers by the sea
A sailboat in Capri
These memories shall be
Our very own
Even though our dreams may vanish
With the morning light
We loved once in splendour
How tender, how tender the night
(Orchestral Break)
Even though our dreams may vanish
With the morning light
We loved once in splendour
How tender, how tender the night
