Late July with the Sun up high
The cicadas sing as the weeks drawl by
Read all day, in a hammock sway
Time, like molasses, it melts away

Need to beat the sleepy, sweet heat
My friends call, they'd all like to meet
So you see, in 90 degrees
It's a dinner under the olive trees

The brittle clink, the deep red drink
The cocktail chatter in silver ink
A single glance, summer romance
An evening entirely up to chance

One night
To dance away under the bright moonlight
To get lost in the magic of your eyes
Oh, but it's only for the night, one night
Within a moment everything collides
It's all exactly how the films described
Oh, but it's only for the night

Oh, but it's only for the night

Ah-ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah-ah, ah-ah

Oh, one night
I wake up and blink open both my eyes
All I see are the pastel-colored skies
I guess there never was a night, it seems
That it was nothin' but a summer dream
I fell asleep under the sunshine beams
Then again, there's always tonight

Night, one night
Within a moment, everything collides
It's all exactly how the films described
Oh, but it's only for the night

Ah-ah-ah, ah, ah-ah-ah, ah
Ah-ah-ah, ah, ah-ah-ah, ah
Ah-ah-ah, ah, ah-ah-ah, ah
Ah-ah-ah, ah
