History Is Made at Night (SMASH Cast Version)

Scott Wittman, Marc Shaiman

[IVY ("MARILYN")]
Put down the playbook
Cause the things I wanna show you can’t be written down
Let my lips do the teaching

[MICHAEL ("JOE")]
Turn off the camera
Kick your shoes off for this scene you should be sitting down
Yeah sitting close enough for reaching

[IVY ("MARILYN")]
Turn down the lamp
For the last page has been turned

[MICHAEL ("JOE")]
When the dawn's breaking through

[IVY ("MARILYN")]
We can stop and review
All the lessons you’ll have learned

[IVY ("MARILYN") & MICHAEL ("JOE")]
'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

[MICHAEL ("JOE")]
I see the questions burning in your eyes or is it just reflections
Mm, of the stars high above you

[IVY ("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

[MICHAEL ("JOE")]
Come whisper close tell me just when to say when

[IVY ("MARILYN")]
Then we’ll sleep through the day

[MICHAEL ("JOE")]
Then whenever you say that’s when school begins again

[IVY ("MARILYN") AND MICHAEL ("JOE")]
'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

[IVY ("MARILYN")]
Come here

Oh, oh, yes
Someday they’ll write lots of books
About our fame and glory

[MICHAEL ("JOE")]
But if all their reports are just movies and sports

[IVY ("MARILYN")]
They’ll be missing the whole story (Missing the whole story!)

[IVY ("MARILYN") AND MICHAEL ("JOE")]
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
