Midnight Sun

Written by：Johnny Mercer/Lionel Hampton/Sonny Burke/Hampton/Burke

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 it's own Aurora borealis

And 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 darlin' always I'll remember

When your lips were close

To mine

And I saw the midnight sun

You're midnight sun
