SMASH Cast - History Is Made At Night lyrics

rate me

Marilyn:

Put down the playbook,

'Cause the things

I wanna show you

Can't be written down...

Let my lips do the teaching.

Joe DiMaggio:

Turn off the camera,

Kick your shoes off—

For this scene

You should be sitting down.

Yeah, sitting close enough for reaching.

Marilyn:

Turn down the lamp,

For the last page

Has been turned.

Joe:

When the dawn's breaking through.

Marilyn:

We can stop and review—

Both:

All the lessons you'll have learned,

'Cause history is made at night,

So close the books,

Turn off the light and listen...

Let my heart be the teacher.

No one here to disapprove,

As we review the lessons

You've been missing...

Let the moon be our only light,

'Cause history is made at night.

Joe:

I see the questions

Burning in your eyes,

Or is it just reflections,

Mmm, of the stars high above you?

Marilyn:

Oh... I'm just your student

And I hope you won't be shy—

Please, make corrections...

Yeah, on the sweetest way to love you.

Joe:

Come whisper close—

Tell me just when to say when.

Marilyn:

Then we'll sleep through the day—

Joe:

Then whenever you say—

Both:

That's when school begins again,

'Cause history is made at night

So close the books,

Turn off the light and listen...

Let my heart be the teacher.

No one here to disapprove,

As we review the lessons

You've been missing...

Let the moon be our only light,

'Cause history is made at night.

Marilyn:

C'mere...

Oh, oh, yes...

Someday they'll write lots of books

About our fame and glory.

Joe:

But if all their reports

Are just movies and sports—

Both:

They'll be missing the whole story!

'Cause history is made at night

So close the books,

Turn off the light and listen...

Let my heart be the teacher.

No one here to disapprove,

As we review the lessons

You've been missing...

Let the moon be our only light,

'Cause history is made at night.

Yes, our history was made at night
