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 And suddenly, you held me tight And I saw the midnight sun ♪ I can't explain the silver rain that found me Or was that a moonlight 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 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 made dwindle to an ember And the stars, the stars forget, they 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, oh, so close to mine And I saw the midnight sun I saw the midnight sun And I saw the midnight sun We saw the midnight sun Oh, we saw the midnight sun We, we saw the midnight And we saw the midnight sun
