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 snowy height
 Each star it's 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 ever such a night?
 It's a thrillI 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 I saw the midnight sun
