Lyrics

The midnight sun will never set
It shines forever in my heart
For it was underneath that amber glow
You whispered low
"We'll never part"
The midnight sun will never set
So how could our romance be through?
For in the ever-shining daylight of our summer love
The midnight sun was shining too
No more is night a wild delight
With all the world on fire
And yet I can't eclipse
The lips I still desire
I see two silent silhouettes
Against a flaming sky and sea
And then I know, though I'm a fool to care
Again, somewhere
The midnight sun will shine for me
The midnight sun will never set
Written by: Dorcas Cochran, Henri Salvador, Quincy Jones
