'Twas on a night like this,
filled with bliss
you led my heart astray,
'twas just a real sweet chance
to learn romance,
In a perfect way,
it was the end of a perfect day,
Say

the moon was all aglow
and heaven was in your eyes,
the night that you told me
those little white lies.
The stars all seemed to know
that you didn't mean those sighs
the night that you told me
those little white lies.
I try, but there's no forgetting
when evening appears,
I sigh, but there's no regretting
in spite of my tears.
The devil was in your heart,
but heaven was in your eyes,
the night that you told me
those little white lies.

the moon was all aglow
and heaven was in your eyes,
the night that you told me
those little white lies.
The stars all seemed to know
that you didn't mean those sighs
the night that you told me
those little white lies.
I try, but there's no forgetting
when evening appears,
I sigh but there's no regretting
in spite of my tears.
Who wouldn't believe those lips,
who ever could doubt those eyes?
the night that you told me
those little white lies.

'Twas on that night in June,
'neath the moon,
you vowed that you'd be true,
we planned in love's own way,
our wedding day,
but all that is through,
and I'm alone with my dreams of you.

the moon was all aglow
and heaven was in your eyes,
the night that you told me
those little white lies.
The stars all seemed to know
that you didn't mean those sighs
the night that you told me
those little white lies.
I try, but there's no forgetting
when evening appears,
I sigh, but there's no regretting
in spite of my tears.
The devil was in your heart,
but heaven was in your eyes,
the night that you told me
those little white lies.

the moon was all aglow
and heaven was in your eyes,
the night that you told me

I try, but there's no forgetting
when evening appears,
I sigh but there's no regretting
in spite of my tears.
Who wouldn't believe those lips,
who ever could doubt those eyes?
the night that you told me
those little white lies.
