The Night Is Young Lyrics - Constellations - Moulettes

Imperial gin, what a delectable tipple 

irredeemable whisky, give me a triple 

a barrel of cider and ale by the cask 

I'm almost a widow in case you should ask 

Chambred wine goes down fine 

when reclining upon a chaise longue 

vermouth is of use when you feel aloof 

and you want to recapture your dwindling youth 

first a scimitar and lime, one sip at a time 

cast aside your misgiving 

because the night is young 

and there's plenty of rum 

and life after all is for living... 

Dance with me again 

here's to the end of a golden era! 

though we spend long years apart 

I still know it by heart, with no rehearsal 

all that I have learned, it never made me happy 

So let's forget for a while 

swap your tears for a smile 

'till the final curtain call... 

I can't count all the letters 

I desperately wanted to write you 

put the ink on the page, but that's where it stayed 

the minutes became hours, the hours were days 

the days were long, the years unkind 

though I don't wish to seem unforgiving 

because the night is young 

and there's plenty of rum 

and life after all is for living... 

Dance with me again 

here's to the end of a golden era! 

though we spend long years apart 

I still know it by heart, with no rehearsal 

all that I have learned, it never made me happy 

so let's forget for a while 

swap your tears for a smile 

'till the final curtain call... 

Do you remember, O my lover ! 

when I first kissed you in the summertime 

by November, in the winter, 

you had taken leave of me.
