Midnight Sun

Midnight Sun - Janet Seidel Trio

Your lips were like a red and ruby chalice

Warmer than the summer night

The stars were like an alabaster palace

Rising to a snowy height

Each cloud 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 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 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

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 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 the midnight sun
