MAGIC NIGHT
Before
the moon
turns out His light,
let me have one last moment
of the night
Before the stars
begin to fade,
before the sun
begins to shine,
let me kiss once more
what was mine
For I know
at the awakening of dawn,
the magic spell of night will fade,
and you’ll be gone.

MAGIC NIGHT
Written 1-17-82
Inspiration
This is a romantic view of a one-night stand. The nature of night
time is heavily mentioned: the moon, the stars, and dawn. There is a
"magic spell" when a couple is out on a late night date, and it can seem to
fade away as soon as the morning arrives.
