Cleo Laine Midnight Sun Lyrics

Midnight Sun 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 me,
Or was that a moonlit bay?
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 when they see the meadow in December,
Icy white and
chrystaline.
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
light.
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 bay?
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.

That flame may dwindle,
And the stars forget to
shine.
We'll see the meadow in December,
Icy white and
chrystaline.
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.
