Lyrics

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 you
Or was that a moonlit veil?
The music of the universe around you
Or was that a nightingale?
And then my arms miraculously found you
Suddenly the sky turned pale
I could see the midnight sun
Was there ever such a night?
It's a thrill I still can't quite believe
But after you were gone
There was, there was still that stardust on my sleeve
The flame of it may dwindle to an ember
And the stars refuse 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 pressed on, on mine
I could see the midnight sun
I could see the midnight sun
I could see the midnight sun
