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 me

Or was that a moonlit 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 may dwindle to an ember

And the stars 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 to mine

And we saw the midnight sun

We saw the midnight sun

Your lips were like a red and ruby chalice

Warmer than a summer night

The clouds were like an alabaster palace

Rising to a summer night

Each star its own aurora borealis

Suddenly you held me tight

And then I could see the midnight sun

I can't explain the silver rain that found me

Or was that a moonlit veil?

The music of the universe around me

Or was that a nightingale?

And then your arms miraculously found me

And the sky turned pale

I could see the midnight sun

Was there such a night?

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

That lovely midnight sun

But after you were gone

There was still some stardust on my sleeve

There was still some stardust on my sleeve

The flame may dwindle

And the stars forget to shine

We'll see the meadow in December

Icy white and crystalline

But darling always I'll remember

When your lips are close to mine

And we saw the midnight sun

Yes we saw the midnight sun

We both saw the midnight sun
