Opening Version=
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
|-|Original version=
Tony:
Oh 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
Side by side with your loved one
You'll find enchantment here
The night will weave its magic spell
When the one you love is near
Both: 
For this is the night
And the heavens are right
On this lovely bella notte
Chorus:
This is the night
It's a beautiful night
And we call it bella notte

The night will weave its magic spell
When the one you love is near
For this is the night
And the heavens are right
On this lovely bella notte

==Trivia==
*"Bella Notte" literally means "beautiful night" in Italian. The Italian version of the film retitled the song "Dolce sognar" ("Sweet dreaming") and never features the original title in the translated lyrics.
**The spaghetti scene is parodied in The Lion King 1½, with Timon and Pumbaa eating a worm. After the "kiss", they turn away clearly disgusted.
*Originally, Walt Disney did not want to include the famous spaghetti kiss scene but left it in any way after Frank Thomas animated the scene.
*The song was covered by Carlos Ponce and Joy Enriquez in the closing credits for Lady and the Tramp II: Scamp's Adventure.
*The song was included in Disney Sing Along Songs: Be Our Guest and Disney Sing Along Songs: Collection of All Time Favorites: The Magic Years.
*The spaghetti scene is used again in the 1-hour Phineas and Ferb special Phineas and Ferb Summer Belongs to You!, when Buford and Baljeet are in the Sun-Beater 3000 during "Bouncin' Around the World", except Buford splashes the spaghetti on Baljeet's head.
*The spaghetti scene was also parodied in the Recess episode "Kurst the Not So Bad", but with Mikey and Kurst.
*The Gravity Falls episode "The Time Traveler's Pig" has Mabel Pines and Waddles parodying the scene with a pizza slice.
*The name "Bella Notte" appears as the name of a restaurant in Enchanted.
*The song is made at a music video performed by Steve Tyrell is included from 2006 Platinum Edition issue and 2012 Diamond Edition.
*A rare cover version of the song sung by Bob Grabeau can be found on the Disneyland Records compilation album: Walt Disney's Happiest Songs.
*The song is featured in 102 Dalmatians as the dogs watch the movie while Kevin and Chloe have spaghetti on their date.
*It is implied that Lady and Tramp mated at the end of the song hence Lady's moodiness later on in the film when Tramp tries to apologize to her and Annette, Colette, Danielle, and Scamp's appearances at the end of the film.
