TENDER IS THE NIGHT

You are the water, the taste of water, the sound of fire and of desire
You are the earth that calls forth every season, that finds for me a reason
Tender is the night

You are the sky (the sky, the sky)
The clouds that go rolling by (clouds go rolling by)
You are the wind (the wind, the wind)
The breeze as it flutters by (as it flutters by)
You are the snow that falls beneath the moonlight
(snow falls down beneath the moon, the glowing moon)
The moonlight and the starlight (star shine through the night)
Tender is the night

I hear my mother (mother, mother)
My mother’s mother, too (and her mother, too)
I hear my father (father, father)
My father’s father, too (and his father, too)
All those I’ve come from and all those I have clung to
All those I have run to (come from and clung to and all those I have loved)
Tender is the night (tender is the night)

Here in the dark (the dark, the dark)
I feel your warm embrace (feel your warm embrace)
And with the dawn (the dawn, the dawn)
The sweet smile upon your face (smile upon your face)
All of the dreams I’ve dreamed (I’ve dreamed)
And all the love I’ve known (dreams I’ve dreamed, the love I’ve known, all the love I’ve known)
It’s all now coming home (tender is the night)
Tender is the night

If life were longer (longer, longer)
If I’d been stronger (if I’d been more strong)
Had I known better (better, better)
What now is clear to me (now it’s clear to me)
If I ruled the world there would still be but one treasure
(ruled the world, there would only be, only one treasure)
As long as we’re together
Tender is the night (tender is the night)

A Song Can Tell A Story

When words leave off, music begins.
