Soon [all the] nights they will be ended,
Soon, all true love will be so splen-did.
I’ve found the happiness I’ve waited for.
The only girl that I was waiting for.

let’s enjoy a version by Ella Fitzgerald as well:

Soon the lonely nights will be ended,
Soon, two hearts as one will be blended.
I’ve found the happiness I’ve waited for.
The only girl that I was fated for.
