A Perfect Night
When the clouds are gently rolling
Through a dark and lonely night
And shadows dance across the golden sky;
When the winds are softly blowing
And the stars emit their light
I sit and think of other days gone by.
A perfect night for wandering
With thoughts of other times
With moonbeams dancing down upon the trees;
And night birds sweetly singing
Their golden lullabies
As they dance along and do what they please.
I've seen so many other nights
Throughout the sands of time
And memories flood my soul when I recall;
So many nights of emptiness
Before I made you mine
Like long forgotten pictures on the wall.
The stars are twinkling softly
In the stillness of the night
With just the songs of nightbirds somewhere near;
And from the hill above me
I see the welcome light
And I hear you softly whisper in my ear.
A perfect night for loving
And a perfect night to be
Beneath the perfect Heaven up above;
A perfect night to realize
How much you mean to me
And a perfect night to just enjoy our love.
I hear you softly calling
Your voice so soft and sweet
As lovely as a mountain rose with dew;
And I look once more above me
With everything so neat
And I make my happy way back home to you.
