Music In the Night

On a night of blooms and starlight,
Soft music drifts upon the breeze,
And the moon, so huge and white,
Charms all the nighttime with ease.

Soft music drifts upon the breeze,
And the magnificent seaside view,
Charms all the nighttime with ease,
Long since the morning bluejay flew!

And the magnificent seaside view,
Dreaming butterflies starry skies!
Long since the morning bluejay flew,
I hear the roaming seagull's cries.

Dreaming butterflies starry skies,
And the moon so huge and white,
I hear the roaming seagull's cries,
On a night of blooms and starlight.
