| This
bracelet is the third piece inspired by the song, "Midnight
Sun."
The
music was composed by Lionel Hampton and Sonny Burke
in 1947; the lyrics were written by Johnny Mercer in
1954.
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, 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 moonlight 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 darling always I'll remember when your lips were
close to mine,
And
we saw the Midnight Sun |
