It's a beautiful night
And we call it bella notte
Look at the skies
They have stars in their eyes
On this lovely bella notte
So take the love of your loved one
To keep from falling like a star
When you make that dizzy bee climb
For this is the night and the heavens are bright
On this lovely bella notte
On this lovely bella notte
