Verse:

Here we are designing dreams together,
We were total strangers just a moonlit night ago.
My, how things have changed,
Was all this prearranged?
I wonder if we'll ever know;

Chorus (version 1):

How did it happen, that I lost my head completely
And found myself falling in love?
I saw no stardust when I looked in your eyes,
I just refused to get enthused, yet if I were so love-wise.
How did it happen in the twinkling of a moonbeam?
I found myself under your spell;
In that one lucky minute,
My heart got mixed up in it,
And now that it's happened, it's swell.

Chorus (version 2):

How did it happen, that I lost my heart completely
And found myself falling in love?
I saw no moonlight when I looked in your eyes,
I just refused to be enthused, but if I were so love-wise.
How did it happen in the twinkling of a moonbeam?
I found myself under your spell;
In that one lucky minute,
My heart got mixed up in it,
And now that it's happened, it's swell.
