Nights in White Satin (The Night) Songtext
von The Moody Blues

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

'Cause 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 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′d always missed
With these eyes before
Just what the truth is
I can't say anymore

′Cause I love you
Yes, I love you
Oh, how I love you
Oh, how I love you

'Cause I love you
Yes, I love you
Oh, how I love you
Oh, how I love you


Breathe 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 colors from our sight
Red is gray and yellow white
But we decide which is right
And which is an illusion
