Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Set the night to music
Look at all the stars tonight
Look at all the moonlight
Look at us we're all alone
Oh and it's just like a dream
Like some romantic fantasy
We could be making love
And with the slightest touch
We could
Set the night to music, we could
Set the night to music, we could
Do what we want to do
It'll only take me and you
To, to set the night to music, he ye he
We'll find a rhythm all our own
Melt into it nice and slow
Love ourselves away from here
Your heart beating next to mine
Perfect love in perfect time
Watch the world, just disappear
This moment is our to take
And with the love we make
We could
Set the night to music, we could
Set the night to music, we could
Do what we want to do
It'll only take me and you
To set the night to music, ooh oh
This moment is ours to take
And with the love we make
And with the slightest touch
We could
Set the night to music, we could
Set the night to music, we could
Do what we wanna do
It'll only take me and you
To, to set the night to music
Set the night, set the night to music, to music
(Set the night to music)
Set the night, set the night to music, to music
(Set the night to music)
Set the night, set the night to music, to music
(Set the night to music)

We could be making love
Love
Makin' love
Makin' love
And the stars
We'll be makin' love, making, yes we could
The skies above

Totally unappreciated song from 1991. This is GOOD STUFF!!!
@otisroseboro5613
Yes I agree
@amandafrank6986
I agree as well.
@shawndamccormick278
Not unappreciated from here.
@Mario_N64
It was a Top 10 hit.
@r0ckt3hc4sb4h
It reached #6 on Billboard Hot 100 and #2 on Billboard Adult Contemporary... Hardly what I would call "unappreciated."
@Khrystal-wl6kz
This song reminds of all of those days back in '91, hearing it over the speaker at work, then my first serious boyfriend. Still together 30 years later and every time I hear this...♥
@thegoodybarn9060
Yes! Speakers in a department store. Kmart specifically remember hearing this!
@witchcraftspellmaker9327
Awesome
@lesegomabiletsa6458
