Balcony Scene (Tonight)

1957 Broadway lyrics

MARIA
Only you, you're the only thing I'll see, forever.
In my eyes, in my words and in everything I do,
Nothing else but you,
Ever!

TONY
And there's nothing for me but Maria,
Every sight that I see is Maria.

MARIA
Tony, Tony . . .

TONY
Always you, every thought I'll ever know,
Everywhere I go,
You'll be!

MARIA
All the world is only you and me!

Tonight, tonight,
It all began tonight,
I saw you and the world went away.
Tonight, tonight,
There's only you tonight,
What you are, what you do, what you say!

TONY
Today, all day I had the feeling
A miracle would happen—
I know now I was right.
For here you are,
And what was just a world is a star
Tonight!

BOTH
Tonight, tonight,
The world is full of light,
With suns and moons all over the place.
Tonight, tonight,
The world is wild and bright,
Going mad, shooting sparks into space.

Today, the world was just an address,
A place for me to live in,
No better than all right,
But here you are
And what was just a world is a star
Tonight!

Goodnight, goodnight,
Sleep well and when you dream,
Dream of me
Tonight.

In my eyes, in my words and in everything I do,
Nothing else but you,

MARIA
All the world is only you and me!

Tonight, tonight,
It all began tonight,
I saw you and the world went away.
Tonight, tonight,
There's only you tonight,
What you are, what you do, what you say!

TONY
Today, all day I had the feeling
A miracle would happen—
I know now I was right.

And what was just a world is a star

Tonight, tonight,
The world is full of light,
With suns and moons all over the place.
Tonight, tonight,
The world is wild and bright,
Going mad, shooting sparks into space.

Today, the world was just an address,
A place for me to live in,
No better than all right,
But here you are
And what was just a world is a star
Tonight!

BOTH SING
Good night, good night,
Sleep well and when you dream,
Dream of me
Tonight.
