Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
There in the dusk we'll share a dream reverie
In the blue of evening, while crickets call and stars are falling
There 'neath the midnight sky you'll come to me
In the shadows of the night we'll stand
I'll touch your hand and then
Softly as your lovely eyes entreat
In the blue of evening, night winds above whisp'rin' "I love you"
There will we find romance in the blue of evening

My brother played this in high school. He would practice it day and night on his clarinet till he had it perfect. We shared a bed room till I was 18. Just hearing this song takes me back....I am 61 now. How I miss those days....
