Lovely Night
Written by Gerry Beckley, ©1976
Found on Hideaway and Highway.

It's a lovely night
It's a lovely night
Well, the sky is clear and the stars are bright
It's a lovely night

But I'll go lookin' for the fallin' rain
Keep on movin', keep on playin' that game
Let's go lookin' for the fallin' rain

It's a lovely night (It's a lovely night)
It's a lovely night (It's a lovely night)
Well, the sky is clear and the stars they are bright
It's a lovely night (It's a lovely night)

But I'll go lookin' for the fallin' rain
Keep on movin', keep on playin' that game
Let's go lookin' for the fallin' rain
On this lovely night
This lovely night
On this lovely night

On this lovely night
This lovely night
On this lovely night
Wo ho ho ho ho ho, this lovely night
Wo ho ho ho ho ho, this lovely night
Wo ho ho ho ho ho, this lovely night
Wo ho ho ho ho ho, this lovely night

Highway Highlight (from the box set booklet)
Hideaway, released April 1976, resembled Hearts in its eclectic mix of sounds and styles. "Lovely Night," for instance, was a Beckley-composed reggae track with a simple, happy lyric. "'Woman Tonight' had already touched on this area, as did [The Beatles'] 'Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da,'" says Gerry. "This is all just on the surface of what true reggae is about, but that's what it was. I loved that offbeat vibe. It's not a bad song, but I'm indifferent to it."
