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 starry 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 moonlight 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

I could see the Midnight Sun

Midnight Sun

Was there such a night

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

And yet when 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

Or I may see the meadow in December

Icy white and crystalline

But oh my darling always I'll remember

When your lips were close to mine

I saw the Midnight Sun
