Your lips were like a red and ruby chalice
|
Warmer than the summer night
|
The clouds were like an alabaster palace
|
Rising to a snowy height
|
Each star its own Aurora Borealis
|
Suddenly you held me tight
|
I could see the midnight sun
|
|
I can't explain
|
The silver rain that found me
|
Or was that a moonlit veil
|
The music of the Universe
|
Around me
|
Or was that a nightingale
|
And then your arms miraculously found me
|
Suddenly the sky turned pale
|
and I saw the midnight sun
|
|
Was there ever such a night
|
It's a thrill
|
I still don't quite believe
|
But after you were gone
|
There was still some
|
Stardust on my sleeve
|
|
The flame of it may dwindle
|
To an ember
|
And the stars forget to shine
|
And we may see the meadow in December
|
Icy white and crystaline
|
But oh my darling always I'll remember
|
When your lips were close to mine
|
And we saw the Midnight Sun
|
The Midnight Sun
|
