Midnight Sun

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 you

Or was that a moonlit veil?

The music of the universe around you

Or was that a nightingale?

And then my arms miraculously found you

Suddenly the sky turned pale

I could see the midnight sun

Was there ever such a night?

It's a thrill I still can't quite believe

But after you were gone

There was, there was still that stardust on my sleeve

The flame of it may dwindle to an ember

And the stars refuse to shine

And we may see the meadow in December

Icy, white and crystalline

But oh, my darling, always I'll remember

When your lips were pressed on, on mine

I could see the midnight sun

I could see the midnight sun

I could see the midnight sun
