Because I turned my eye toward you

Because I seek your hand

Every other woman envies you

And me, every other man A massive circle of jealousy

Is coming round again

Those prickly fingered scallywags

That masquerade as friends Make a promise this very night

That they will no longer pose

A threat to either one of us

Then let the chapter close For all the midnights in the world

This one will serve us better

If you choose to be my girl Like Zuzu's petals, a wonderful life

The two of us shall lead

The children of the future've all the

Spiritual food they need The secrets that the ones before

With grace, they've come and shown

Together with love for one another

We shall make them known Remember the love of happy days

I number the grains of sand

Writing twelve times ever more

If I could be your man Amethyst and rubies

Crystals and black pearls

I'd trade them all just to spend with you

All the midnights in the world

All the midnights in the world
