"Bella Notte" is a song from the animated feature film, Lady and the Tramp. It is a love ballad and the film's signature song.

"This is the night
It's a beautiful night
And we call it bella notte

Look at the skies
They have stars in their eyes
On this lovely bella notte

So take the love of your loved one
You'll need it about this time
To keep from falling like a star
When you make that dizzy climb

For this is the night
And the heavens are right
On this lovely bella notte
On this lovely Bella notte"
