In Starlight Time
The beauty of a galaxy
Is heavenly
A tapestry of dreams in speckled light
Beneath a lilac tree
You made love to me
More tenderly than truly at first sight
My ecstasy is suddenly
A raging sea
A misery so deep it will not die
In this, my fantasy
Of love, eternally
Your memory is with me by and by...
I don't know why the stars on high
Are shining still
Mocking me at will
The virgin snow
Reflects a warm hello
But I am colder for the chill
Like a Whippoorwill
In the throes of deep December
When Autumn leaves still blow
In dreams of late September
And smiles I remember
For the glow
Beside the train that night
We said goodbye
You were born to fly
Somewhere on the breeze
The scent of lilac trees
Still brings a teardrop to my eye
In a lullaby
Or a song of sweet persuasion
If reason follows rhyme
Where all my dreams come true
My thoughts will be of you
In starlight time.
