When I see the glamour of the night
My heart is prepared for action
I am so enamoured of the sight
When you are the main attraction

Midnight blue
That was the colour scheme 
When I met you
And soon this heart of mine 
Was beating like thunder
Under the midnight blue

Midnight blue
Had painted shadows
On our rendezvous
I couldn't speak
As I beheld you in wonder
Under the midnight blue

Roses gave you lips of red
And like a crown upon yout head
Stars were strung
Faraway the music played
I heard a sweetheart's serenade
Being sung, love was young

Midnight blue
And then I found myself
Caressing you
I found my heaven
In the spell I was under
Under the midnight blue
