Moonlight Serenade

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
 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
 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
 Talk of lovers through the ages who had lived out of their dreams
 Such will and 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
 ♪
 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
