What A Night
4 Seasons Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Late December back in sixty three
What a very special time for me
As I remember, what a night
Oh, what a night, you know I didn't even know her name
But I was never gonna be the same
What a lady, what a night
Oh, I, I got a funny feelin' when she walked in the room
Oh my, as I recall it ended much too soon
Oh what a night, hypnotizin' mesmerizing me
She was ev'rything I dreamed she'd be
Sweet surrender, what a night
I felt a rush like a rollin' ball of thunder
Spinnin' my head around and takin' my body under
Oh, what a night
Oh, I, I got a funny feelin' when she walked in the room
Oh my, as I recall it ended much too soon
Oh, what a night
Why'd it take so long to see the light?
Seemed so wrong, but now it seems so right
What a lady, what a night
Oh I felt a rush like a rollin' ball of thunder
Spinnin' my head around and takin' my body under
Oh what a night
Do-do-do, do-do-do
Do-do-do-do, oh what a night
Do-do-do, do-do-do
Do-do-do-do-do-do, oh what a night
Do-do-do, do-do-do
Do-do-do-do-do-do, oh what a night
Do-do-do, do-do-do
Do-do-do-do-do-do, oh what a night
The song "What A Night" by 4 Seasons is about a magical night that took place in late December of 1963. The singer recalls this special time that was very significant for him. He describes his feelings about a woman he met that night and how she made him feel. The night was so amazing that it left a lasting impression on the singer, and he will always remember it. The song is about how a single special moment can change everything and make life so much better.
As the singer starts singing, it is clear from the lyrics that the night he talks about was a long time ago. The song was released in 1975, so the singer must have been reminiscing about a night that took place over a decade earlier. The singer talks about how he didn't even know the woman's name when they met, but that didn't matter because he had an instant connection with her. He describes this woman as being everything he had ever dreamed of, and he felt a rush of excitement and joy when she walked into the room.
The bridge of the song talks about how the night was so magical that it felt like a thunderstorm had rolled in, and the singer's head was spinning. He was completely taken over by the experience and couldn't resist the woman's charms. The song ends with the singer talking about how the night changed his life and how it took him a while to realize just how much it meant to him.
