When Lights Are Low Lyrics - Berlin Concerts - Eric Dolphy

Listen to the melody entrancing 

Blending in a soft and sweet refrain 

As around the floor, dear, we are dancing 

Swaying to a fascinating strain 

Sweet music soft and mellow 

Soothing and slow 

Strains of a mellow 'cello 

When lights are low 

Dear, we're so close together I love you so 

Why think about the weather 

When lights are low 

Two hearts revealing 

Music hath charms 

Life's so appealing 

With inspiration, in your arms 

Our lips meeting soft and tender 

Love's all aglow 

Why shouldn't we surrender 

When lights are low 

Listen how happy hearts are beating 

Like the ocean beats upon the sand 

And our feet in rhythm keep repeating 

Ev'ry little movement of the band 

Sweet music soft and mellow 

Soothing and slow 

Strains of a mellow 'cello 

When lights are low 

Dear, we're so close together I love you so 

Why think about the weather 

When lights are low 

Two hearts revealing 

Music hath charms 

Life's so appealing 

With inspiration, in your arms 

Our lips meeting soft and tender 

Love's all aglow 

Why shouldn't we surrender 

When lights are low
