I remember that first night we met,
Dancing to the sounds of clarinets,
Dancing cheek to cheek, oh how sweet,
You and me and this fantasy,
Oh I remember our first night.

I remember how we carried on,
On and on until the light of dawn.
From the very start, you stole my heart,
I knew right then we would never part,
Oh I remember that first night.

Remember that first night,
Remember that first night.

I saw your love light through the candle's glow,
Champagne was flowing, and so I let myself go,
And when the night was over, we both looked around the room,
Remember darling, chairs on the table, and only me and you

I remember how we carried on,
On and on until the light of dawn,
And from the very start, you stole my heart,
I knew right then we would never part.
I remember that first night

Remember that first night,
Remember that first night,
Remember that first night.
