The Night Is Young And You're So Beautiful
Suesse Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

The night is young and you're so beautiful,
Here among the shadows, beautiful lady, open you heart.
The scene is set, the breezes sing of it,
Can't you get into the swing of it, lady, when do we start?

When the lady is kissable and the evening is cool,
Any dream is permissible in the heart of a fool.
The moon is high and you're so glamorous,
And if I seem over amorous, lady, what can I do?




The night is young and I'm in love with you.

This song was conceived by Irving Kahal, and the lyrics were written by producer-lyricist Billy Rose. Dana Suesse lived in Fort Worth for 3 months in 1936, to compose the score for Casa Manana, the spectacular outdoor dinner theatre of the Fort Worth Frontier Centennial. Everett Marshall sang this song nightly to Faye Cotton, Texas Sweetheart, on the world's largest revolving stage. Suesse remarked "I never wrote down this arrangement, but I this is the arrangement I played many times."
