Moonlight Serenade - Kurt Elling (库特艾灵)

Understand the Night

When she flashes

Her sparkling eyes at dusk

She flirts with Twilight

When the noise of day dies away

The Night and Twilight stay and stay

Making quiet love

Up high over the town

And the gentle Twilight gives his light

Making a queen of Night

If I could I would write a sonnet

Of the night as a rememberance

Of your eyes

And if you'd promise not to tell

I could whisper the words in the dark

Like a lover

We could count the stars

The shooting stars

And talk of lovers through the ages

Who had lived out of their dreams

Such will and spirt courage

They needed to live in a dream

To burn with every breath so serene

As if they had been

The first to find love at all

Like Night and Twilight

(They were the first of lovers ever )

Could we be like them

Hold on to one another

Until dawn comes

Then we'll fly off and dream

Until Night and Twilight kiss again

My love - my one and only love

Let me take you out

Under the moonlight

And show how the Twilight

Loves the Night

Why he lives for an hour of loving

Through lifetimes of longing

And sings his moonlight serenade
