Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Just you and I beneath the stars
Wrapped in the arms of sweet romance
The night is ours
Under a blanket of blue
Let me be thrilled by all your charms
Darling, I know my heart will dance
Within your arms
A summer night's magic, enthralling me so
The night would be tragic
If you weren't here to share it my dear
Covered with heaven above
Let's dream a dream of love for two
Wrapped in the arms of sweet romance
Under a blanket of blue
Under a blanket of blue
Just you and I beneath the stars
Wrapped in the arms of sweet romance
The night is ours
Under a blanket of blue
Let me be thrilled by all your charms
Darling, I know my heart will dance
Within your arms
A summer night's magic, enthralling me so
The night would be tragic
If you weren't here to share it my dear
Covered with heaven above
Let's dream a dream of love for two
Wrapped in the arms of sweet romance

Damn when Ella's vocals come in 😩💨
@dirtroadsandwoodstoves
Man - everytime I hear these two - just amazing. I've listened to these Duets since I was a little guy. One of the best duet teams ever. American legends - created some real classics for the ages. I've cried, tranced out, made love, got lost, been found, laughed, rejoiced and dreamt to Ella and Louis......

I love this one. It always makes me think of sitting outside, with a glass of water, with someone that I lost. I loved her a lot, and this was a song that we both liked.
