Lyrics to The Loveliest Night of the Year, performed by Desi Arnaz on the I Love Lucy episode Ricky’s Life Story

words by Paul Francis Webster, music by Irving Aaronson, 1950, Adapted from Rosa’s waltz: Sobre los olas (“Over the Waves”)


When you are in love
It’s the loveliest night of the year
Stars twinkle above
And you almost can touch them from here

Words fall into rhyme
Anytime you are holding me near
When you are in love
It’s the loveliest night of the year!

Waltzing along in the blue
like a breeze drifting over the sand
Thrilled by the wonder of you
and the wonderful touch of your hand
and …

My heart starts to beat
like a child when a birthday is near
So kiss me, my sweet –
It’s the loveliest night of the year!
