[00:13.66] Now is the glimmering spinning beginning [00:17.31] Of something I've prayed for and counted the minutes [00:21.97] To be in the shadows of sheltering meadows [00:25.73] Of night, here with you in my arms. [00:32.78] This is the moment that pauses to hold us [00:36.42] As you and I move in a background of wonder, [00:41.04] Surrounded by countless enclosures [00:43.92] Of nocturnal unspoken music of joy. [00:51.11] Counting times you have stood at the foot of my ivory tower [00:56.26] And waited, and called out my name by the hour, [01:00.56] And counted on the wings of my heartstrings [01:03.65] To carry the sound, I have counted on pleading, [01:07.71] You see how I need you, come down. [01:14.08] And now between twilight and midnight I come to you, [01:18.12] Down in my gown of soft moonbeams and starlight, [01:22.19] Bright is the evening, the breezes have fenced us [01:26.33] And nestled against us — [01:29.92] You're here — [01:33.57] And warm. [01:37.59] And mine till the time [01:39.00] When the dawn will awake you, [01:41.21] The morning will shake you, [01:43.32] The highway will take you. [01:45.12] But now all the rays of the moon making bouquets [01:51.30] Will swim through the luster of lingering street lights [01:55.19] We count on the night to hold everything even, [01:59.26] And count on forgetting that you will be leaving, [02:02.96] And destiny's folded and then in the dawn you'll be gone. [02:10.94] But now as the gardens of softening night time [02:14.71] Are blossoming slowly around where we are, [02:19.07] You and I come together [02:21.22] And walk through the dreams of the stars. [02:27.12] So here while the song of the deepening evening [02:30.35] Is singing to me from the light in your eyes, [02:34.75] We can count on each other to move to the beach of tomorrow [02:41.51] And know where we've been. [02:43.46]
