  işte sözler de şahane buyrun:
  
  your lips were like a red and ruby chalice
  warmer than the summer night
  the clouds were like an alabaster palace
  rising to a snowy height
  each star its own aurora borealis
  suddenly you held me tight
  i could see the midnight sun
  
  i can't explain the silver rain that found me
  or was that a moonlit veil?
  the music of the universe around me
  or was that a nightingale?
  and then your arms miraculously found me
  suddenly the sky turned pale
  i could see the midnight sun
  
  was there such a night?
  it's a thrill i still don't quite believe
  but after you were gone
  there was still some stardust on my sleeve
  
  the flame of it may dwindle to an ember
  and the stars forget to shine
  and we may see the meadow in december
  icy white and crystaline
  but oh my darling always i'll remember
  when your lips were close to mine
  and i saw the midnight sun
