Nights In White Satin

Tina Arena


Nights in white satin 
Never reaching the end
Letters I've written 
Never meaning to send
Beauty 
I'd always missed 
With these eyes before
Just what the truth is 
I can't say anymore

'Cos I love you 
Yes I love you 
Oh how I love you

Gazing at people 
Some hand in hand
Just what I'm going 
Through they 
Can't understand
Some try to tell me 
Thoughts 
They cannot defend
Just what you 
Want to be 
You will be 
In the end

And I love you 
Yes I love you
Oh how I love you 
Oh how I love you

Nights in white satin 
Never reaching the end
Letters I've written 
Never meaning to send
Beauty 
I've always missed 
With these eyes before
Just what the truth is 
I can't say anymore

'Cos I love you 
Yes I love you
Oh how I love you 
Oh how I love you
'Cos I love you 
Yes I love you
Oh how I love you 
Oh how I love you

Breath deep 
The gathering gloom
Watch lights fade 
From every room
Bedsitter people 
Look back and lament
Another day's useless 
Energy spent

Impassioned lovers
Wrestle as one 
Lonely man 
Cries for love
And has none
New mother picks up 
And suckles her son
Senior citizens 
Wish they were young

Cold hearted orb
That rules the night
Removes the colours
From our sight
Red is gray and 
Yellow white
But we decide
Which is right 
And which 
Is an illusion
