SINGABLE

Tonight inside my head there is delight
Tonight inside my heart I have a light

Once again I am in the highest sky
Where we have a secret the stars and I

Tonight my joy I cannot convey
From this world I seem so far away

To reach the sky from joy I will sprout wings
A verse of being I’ll sing for nymphs and kings

I will cause a commotion up in space
Pouring out goblets and breaking the vase

Tonight my joy is too much to convey
It seems from this world I’m so far away

To Pleiades and the moon I will speak
The face of the one I love I will seek

These nights my spirit fill
These nights my spirit fill

I will force the moon and Venus to dance
As I have danced myself into a trance

Verses from our lips spill
Verses from our lips spill

Tonight my joy is too much to convey
It seems from this world I’m so far away

Tonight inside my head there is delight
Tonight inside my heart I have a light

Once again I am in the highest sky
Where we have a secret the stars and I

Tonight my joy is too much to convey
It seems from this world I’m so far away

Tonight my joy is too much to convey
It seems from this world I’m so far away
Tonight my joy is too much to convey
