Nights In White Satin
Elkie Brooks Lyrics

Nights in white satin
Reflecting on times spent with someone who was true and pure, like a white satin sheet.

Never reaching the end
However, these fond memories from the past, although beautiful and vivid, would never come back in the present.

Letters I've written
The singer has been expressing their innermost feelings and emotions by writing letters.

Never meaning to send
But those candid letters were never meant to be posted or delivered to the intended recipient.

Beauty I'd always missed
Prior to meeting their significant other, life had been incomplete for the artist, as they had missed out on experiencing the meaning of true beauty.

With these eyes before
The singer's existence prior to the romantic encounter had been dull, and they had never seen the world in its true colors.

Just what the truth is
Although time has passed, the singer is no longer certain whether the memories are a recollection of a dream or a true reality.

I can't say anymore
Uncertainty clouds the artist's mind like a fog, and they cannot seem to find answers or explain their feelings any longer.

'Cause I love you
Despite the confusion and uncertainty, one thing the artist is certain of is their intense love and affection for the other person involved.

Yes, I love you
The artist repeats their declaration of love, emphasizing how much the other person means to them.

Oh, how I love you
The singer's love is so strong and powerful that words alone cannot express their feelings.

Gazing at people
Looking at others who seem happy and content in their relationships.

Some hand in hand
The sight of couples holding hands reinforces the singer's sense of longing and isolation.

Just what I'm going through
The singer feels a deep sense of pain and suffering that others around them cannot understand or relate to.

They can't understand
Despite the singer's attempts to explain, others cannot comprehend the extent of their emotional turmoil.

Some try to tell me
Others try to offer advice or words of comfort but only make things worse.

Thoughts they cannot defend
People offer opinions and thoughts that they cannot justify or explain logically and leave the artist more confused.

Just what you want to be
The singer is certain that they want to be with their significant other, come what may.

You'll be in the end,
No matter how hard they try, the singer knows that they will always long for their love and wish for a future together.
