Song lyrics

Two silhouettes together in the afterglow.
Two silhouettes become as one
When lights are low.
And with the night slumbering on
We'll build a dream for two.
A perfect dream set to a theme
Lovely as you.
Two hearts on fire will soon inspire
The stars to dance.
The flames that stray will light the way
To our romance.
And when I hold you in my arms
To my heart's delight.
Two silhouettes will drift away
Into the night.

Two hearts on fire will soon inspire
The stars to dance.
The flames that stray will light the way
To our romance.
And when I hold you in my arms
To my heart's delight.
Two silhouettes will drift away
Into the night.
Will drift away into the night.

Notes

The dancers are accompanied by two putti, also in silhouette.

The movie segment features rotoscoped animation. Rotoscoping is an animation technique in which animators trace over footage, frame by frame, for use in live-action and animated films.

The dancing silhouettes are from images of ballet dancers (and husband and wife) David Lichine (1910-1972) and Tatiana Riabouchinska (1917-2000).
