Lyrics

Your (Cmaj7)lips were like a red and ru by (C6)chal ice, warm er than the (Cm7)sum mer (F)night.

The (Bbmaj7)clouds were like an a la bas ter (Bb6)pal ace ris ing to a (Bbm7)snow y (Eb)height.

Each (Abmaj7)star its own au ro ra bo re (Ab6)a lis, sud den ly you (Abm7)held me (Db)tight,

I could see the (Am)mid night sun.

I (Cmaj7)can’t ex plain the sil ver rain that (C6)found me, or was that a (Cm7)moon lit (F)veil?

The (Bbmaj7)mu sic of the u ni verse a (Bb6)round me, or was that a (Bbm7)night in (Eb)gale?

And (Abmaj7)then your arms mi rac u lous ly (Ab6)found me, sud den ly the (Abm7)sky turned (Db)pale,

I could see the (Am)mid night sun.

I (Am)mid night sun.

(Emaj7)Was there such a (E6)night?

It’s a (Em7)thrill I still don’t (A7)quite be (F#m7)lieve.

But (Dmaj7)af ter you were (D6)gone, there was (Dm7)still some star dust (G7)on my (Eb9)sleeve.

The (Cmaj7)flame of it may dwin dle to an (C6)em ber, and the stars for (Cm7)get to (F)shine,

and (Bbmaj7)we may see the mead ow in De (Bb6)cem ber, ic y white and (Bbm7)crys tal (Eb)line.

But (Abmaj7)oh, my dar ling, al ways I’ll re (Ab6)mem ber when your lips were (Abm7)close to (Db)mine,

and I saw the (C)mid night sun.
