Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Quiet nights of quiet stars
Quiet chords from your guitar
Floating on the silence that surrounds us
[Verse 2]
Quiet thoughts and quiet dreams
Quiet walks by quiet streams
And the window that looks out on the mountains and the sea
Ooh, how lovely
[Verse 3]
This is where I wanna be
Here with you so close to me
Until the final flicker of life's ember
[Verse 4]
Oh, I who was lost and lonely
Believing life was only
A bitter, tragic joke
Have found with you
The meaning of existence, oh, my love
[Verse 5]
Quiet nights of quiet stars
Quiet chords from your guitar
Floating on the silence that surrounds us
[Verse 6]
Quiet thoughts and quiet dreams
Quiet walks by quiet streams
And a window that looks out on the mountains and the sea
[Verse 7]
This is where I wanna be
Here with you so close to me
Until the final flicker of life's ember
[Verse 8]
I who was lost and lonely
Believing life was only
A bitter, tragic joke
Have found with you
The meaning of existence, oh, my love
[Verse 9]
The meaning of existence, oh, my love
I love the quiet nights and the quiet stars
