Velvet evening falls around us
And the stars are burning bright
It looks like love has found us
If only for tonight
I'm afraid my arms betrayed me
But that's the way they are
Oh so darling don't you blame me
If we should go too far, oh
Blame it on the night
I don't really care who gets the blame

Blame it on the moon
Blame it on the stars, it's all the same
Blame it on the night
If you just can't help yourself
It's alright

Night clouds hold the dark horizon
And the air is very still
Ooh yes and anything could happen
And it probably will, oh
Blame it on the night
I don't really care who gets the blame

Blame it on the moon
Blame it on the stars, it's all the same
Blame it on the night
If you just can't help yourself
It's alright

Blame it on the night
Blame it on the candlelight and wine
Blame it on the music
Blame it on the love that made you blind
Blame it on the night
If you just can't help yourself, it's alright

Blame it on the night
I don't really care who gets the blame

Blame it on the moon
Blame it on the stars, its all the same
Blame it on the night
If you just can't help yourself, it's alright
Blame it on the night
Blame it on the candlelight and wine
Blame it on the music
Blame it on the love that made you blind
Blame it on the night
If you just can't help yourself, it's alright

Blame it on the night
I don't really care who gets the blame
Blame it on the moon
Blame it on the stars, it's all the same
Blame it on the night
If you just can't help yourself
It's alright
