Think Not of This Night
My cherished one ,
Think not of this night with an absent moon
But think of those nights that we used to know
Think of those nights 'neath the sky's window light
where we lay side by side .
Think of sea-scents that wafted before
Think of old waves that lulled us to sleep
as they lapped on the shore.
My cherished one ,
Think not òf this night with an absent moon
But think of those nights that we used to know
Think of those nights 'neath the sky's window light
where we lay side by side .
Your tanned face was not a blank page
It was filled with sweet words that I spilled
and soft kisses I've trailed.
My cherished one ,
Think not of this night with an absent moon
But think of those nights that we used to know
Oh those nights 'neath the sky's window light
where we lay side by side .
On those nights, how you gazed with deep amorous eyes .
As Spring was half-dressed , your restless fingers caressed
Out of love , it was built , our warm cosy nest .
But flowers just didn't bloom , and birds couldn't survive ,
Nor did our dream , or our child ,
Neither did you in the line of my life .
My cherished one ,
Think not of this night with an absent moon
but think of those nights that we used to know
Think of those nights under the sky's window light
where we lay side by side ,Oh yeah , once we lay side by side .
