[Verse 1]
It was a night, ooh, what a night
It was, it really was such a night
The moon was bright, oh, how bright
It was, it really was such a night
The night was alight with stars above
Ooh, when she kissed me, I had to fall in love

[Verse 2]
Oh, it was a kiss, ooh, what a kiss
It was, it really was such a kiss
Oh, how she could kiss, oh, what a kiss
It was, it really was such a kiss
Just the thought of her lips sets me afire
I reminisce and I'm filled with desire

[Chorus]
But I gave my heart to her in sweet surrender
How well I remember, I'll always remember

[Verse 3]
Oh, what a night, ooh, what a night
It was, it really was such a night
Came the dawn and my heart and her love
And the night was gone
But I'll never forget the kiss, the kiss in the moonlight
Ooh, such a kiss, such a night

[Verse 4]
It was a night, ooh, what a night
It was, it really was such a night
Came the dawn and my heart and her love
And the night was gone
But I'll never forget the kiss, the kiss in the moonlight
How well I remember, I'll always remember

[Bridge]
That night, ooh, what a night
It was, it really was such a night
When we kissed, I had to fall in love

[Chorus]
But I'd gave my heart to her in sweet surrender
How well I remember, I'll always remember

[Bridge]
Oh, that night, ooh, what a night
It was, it really was such a night
When we kissed, I had to fall in love

[Outro]
Well, she's gone, gone, gone
Yes, she's gone, gone, gone
Came the dawn, dawn, dawn
And my love was gone
But before that dawn
Yes, before that dawn
And before that dawn
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ah
Such a night

Elvis Presley

Elvis Aaron Presley (January 8, 1935 – August 16, 1977) was an American performer that spanned all media—music, film, and historic live concerts—with a vehement passion that earned him the moniker, “The King of Rock and Roll.”

Elvis Presley was born in Tupelo, Mississippi to Gladys and Vernon Presley. At the age of 13, he moved with his family to Memphis, Tennessee. Elvis began to explore the blues scene prevalent in Memphis and the culture it encompassed.

In August 1953, he walked into Sun Records to record a song for his mother’s birthday. Manager of Sun Records Sam Phillips took note of his unique voice and persona, and invited Elvis back to the studio in July 1954, where he ultimately recorded his first true single, “That’s All Right,” with “Blue Moon of Kentucky” as the B-side.
