Go Back

Tonight Is So Right for Love

Words & Music by Sid Wayne, Abner Silver

Lyrics:

Hold me tight
The moon's so bright
Tonight is so right for love

Now's the time to say
You're the only one
Tonight is so right for love

One by one the stars appear
They twinkle in your eyes
Who'd believe that we'd be here
So near to paradise

This could be the kiss
To unlock heaven's door
That magic hour of bliss
That we both waited for
I love more and more

Oh' we could fly right up to the sky
The things we've been dreaming of
And how real they would seem
A midsummernight's dream
Can't you see that tonight's so right for love

And how real they would seem
A midsummernight's dream
Can't you see that tonight's so right for love

Hold me tight
The moon's so bright
Tonight is so right for love

More info:

Elvis sang Tonight is So Right for Love in his 1960 film G.I. Blues. The song was recorded on April 28, 1960, at RCA's Hollywood studios. Composers Sid Wayne and Abner Silver based the melody on Bacarolle by Jacques Offenbach. Because of copyright problems, Tonight is So Right for Love couldn't be released in Europe. Instead, Tonight's All Right for Love (similar lyrics, different melody) was recorded for insertion into European releases of G.I. Blues. An alternate take of Tonight is So Right for Love appeared on the 1988 Compact Disc release of G.I. Blues.
