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

And suddenly, you held me tight

And I saw 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

Was there 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 made dwindle to an ember

And the stars, the stars forget, they forget 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 close, oh, so close to mine

And I saw the midnight sun

I saw the midnight sun

And I saw the midnight sun

We saw the midnight sun

Oh, we saw the midnight sun

We, we saw the midnight

And we saw the midnight sun
