Softly in the night
We caress in the shadows
And then (when no one's watching)
We can find (the world is sleeping)
Happiness (no one can see us)
In the shadows

All this time, the kind of love the sun will never see
For I'm the girl of your best friend and I'm not free

So never (we'll keep our secret)
In the daylight (we'll never tell him)
Can we show our love (we'll be together)
Only softly in the night
Softly in the night
Softly in the night
Softly in the night

All this time, the kind of love the sun will never see
For I'm the girl of your best friend and I'm not free

So never (we'll keep our secret)
In the daylight (we'll never tell him)
Can we show our love (we'll be together)
Only softly in the night
Softly in the night
Softly in the night
Softly in the night
Softly in the night
