Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Understand the night
When she flashes her sparkling eyes at dusk
She flirts with twilight
When the noise of day dies away
The night and twilight stay and stay
Making quiet love up high over the town
[Verse 2]
And the gentle twilight gives his light
Making a queen of night
If I could I would write a sonnet of the night
As a remembrance of your eyes
[Verse 3]
And if you'd promise not to tell
I could whisper the words in the dark
Like a lover, we could count the stars, the shooting stars
And talk of lovers through the ages
Who had lived out of their dreams
[Verse 4]
Such will and spirit, courage, they needed to live in a dream
To burn with every breath, so serene
As if they had been the first to find love at all
Like night and twilight
They were the first of lovers ever
Could we be like them?
Hold on to one another until dawn comes
Then we'll fly off and dream until night and twilight kiss again
[Verse 5]
My love, my one and only love
Let me take you out under the moonlight
And show how the twilight loves the night
Why he lives for an hour of loving
Through lifetimes of longing
And sings his moonlight serenade
