Heavenly Night

Listen to the night reciting heavenly music
When purple sky brightens with angelic spirits
Mesmerized by the twilight's fabulous glory
As the shining stars swing to celestial lyrics 

Streets are beaming in cherubic nightfall
Stage has been set for the curtain call
Romance is dancing in a rhythmic ball
Happiness is reigning over one and all

Watch the sun's orange glow deep in the river
As clouds block the view of a lone photographer
When wild horses frolic in open air theater
Half-moon sketches arc to announce its arrival

People are singing a melodious song
Signs of melancholy have long gone
Echo of joy reverberates the town
For angels have joined to sing-along

See emerald green dipping in reflective ocean
As the moonlight shines upon supernal passion
When the milky-way stirs up ardent emotions
Watch the lighthouse rise-up to greet horizon

No one wants to say goodbye tonight
For revelers see the seraphic bright light
As festive images dominate every sight
Blessed by the presence of saintly might

Hear heavenly night singing hymns of compassion 
As constellation bursts with flashes of excitement
And the town meditates in ethereal devotion
When cadence of the Holy echoes veneration
