Midnight Blue

The winter sky is crystal clear

In the hours before the dawn

I walk into the cold night air

Feeling lonely and forlorn

I look up to the heavens

I see a sky of special hue

And I can’t help but shiver

When I think of midnight blue

Among the stars I see a face

That is smiling down at me

My heart is filled with pain

For it is your face that I see

The memories flood my mind

With all that we’ve been through

And I can’t help but quiver

When I think of midnight blue

I can hear the sound of sighing

But from where I cannot tell

A voice drifts on the breeze

And it seems to cast a spell

My heart is filled with grief

For the voice belongs to you

My tears flow like a river

When I think of midnight blue

My arms reach up towards you

I want to cradle your sweet head

As I did when you were fevered

And I was sat beside your bed

You held my hand so tightly

You said your love was true

And then you closed for ever

Lovely eyes of midnight blue
