	  		A7    D9       D      F#m7   Fdim      D9      
Your lips were like a red and ru - by chal - ice 
 
D6/9     Bm7/5-     Dm7         G6    Dm6 G9 
War - mer than the sum - mer night, 
 
     C9        C       Cm7     Cm7/6      Cm7 
The clouds were like an al - a - bas - ter pal - ace 
 
Em    B+       Cm7        F      Cm7    F 
Ri - sing to a snow - y height; 
 
      Bb9      Bb      Cdim    Edim       Bb 
Each star it's own au - ro - ra bor - e - al - is, 
 
Gm7                Bbm7    Gdim 
Sud - den - ly you held me tight; 
 
A7  Edim  A7  Dm7  F#m7  G  A7    A7/5+  Dm7 
And  I  could see       the Mid - night Sun. 
 
 
A7 D9       D      F#m7    Fdim       D9      
I can't explain the silver rain that found me -- 
 
D6/9   Bm7/5-   Dm7       G6    Dm6 G9 
Or was that a moonlight veil? 
 
    Em    B+    Cm7        F      Cm7    F 
The music of the u - ni - verse around me, 
 
Em      B+     Cm7          F      Cm7    F 
Or was that a night - in - gale? 
 
    Bb9       Bb        Cdim      Edim       Bb 
And then your arms mir - ac - u - lous - ly found me, 
 
Gm7                Bbm7       Gdim 
Sud - den - ly the sky turned pale -- 
 
Edim  A7  Dm7  F#m7  G  A7    A7/5+  Dm7 
 I  could see       the Mid - night Sun. 
 
 
Bridge: 
 
G    Am7  D9   D7/9    G 
Was there ever such a night? 
 
G/F#    F#m7     B7         Cdim     E   
It's a thrill I still don't quite believe; 
 
    E    E6  Am7  A    E  
But af - ter you were gone, 
Em          B+       Em7     Em6     A7 
There was still the stardust on my sleeve. 
 
 
A7    D9      D     F#m7   Fdim   D9      
The flame of it may dwindle to an ember, 
 
D6/9    Bm7/5-   Dm7       G6    Dm6 G9 
And the stars forget to shine, 
 
    C9      C       Cm7  Cm7/6     Cm7 
And we may see the meadow in  De - cem - ber, 
 
Em      B+       Cm7           F      Cm7    F 
I - cy white and crys - tal - line, 
 
   Bb9      Bb      Cdim       Edim       Bb 
But oh my dar - ling al - ways I'll re - mem - ber 
 
Gm7                 Bbm7     Gdim 
When your lips were close to mine, 
 
A7     Em7     A7    A7/5+  Dm7  F#m7  G  A7/5+  D6 
And we saw the Mid - night Sun.
