[00:05.09] Understand the Night.
[00:11.53] When she flashes her sparkling eyes at dusk,
[00:19.59] she flirts with Twilight.
[00:25.28] When the noise of day dies away,
[00:30.22] the Night and Twilight stay and stay,
[00:33.84] making quiet love up high over the town.
[00:43.03] And the gentle Twilight gives his light,
[00:49.22] making a queen of Night.
[00:53.59] If I could, I would write a sonnet of the night as a rememberance of your eyes.
[01:02.34] And, if you'd promise not to tell,
[01:05.99] I could whisper the words in the dark, like a lover.
[01:17.12] We could count the stars - the shooting stars -
[01:22.99] and talk of lovers through the ages who had lived out of their dreams.
[01:28.87] Such will and courage they needed to live in a dream;
[01:33.80] to burn, with every breath so serene -
[01:39.68] as if they had been the first to find love at all -
[01:45.30] like Night and Twilight.
[01:50.31] (They were the first of lovers ever.)
[01:54.18] Could we be like them - hold on to one another until dawn comes?
[02:07.20] Then, we'll fly off and dream until Night and Twilight kiss again.
[02:54.51] My love - my one and only love -
[03:04.13] let me take you out under the moonlight and show how the Twilight loves the Night;
[03:25.88] why he lives for an hour of loving through lifetimes of longing
[03:47.51] and sings his moonlight serenade.
[00:05.09] Understand the Night.
[00:11.53] When she flashes her sparkling eyes at dusk,
[00:19.59] she flirts with Twilight.
[00:25.28] When the noise of day dies away,
[00:30.22] the Night and Twilight stay and stay,
[00:33.84] making quiet love up high over the town.
[00:43.03] And the gentle Twilight gives his light,
[00:49.22] making a queen of Night.
