A Velvet Night
A velvet night is one that's shy
And soft as a sigh of a dragonfly.
The moon is bright and the shadows are white
In a warm black shawl of a velvet night.
On such a night our dreams run free.
They sing and dance for all to see.
And every one is an open book:
Free to show and free to look.
A velvet night is one that's shy,
She's like a comet in the sky.
It's hard to catch a velvet night,
But when you do, you taste delight.
