Nights in White Satin
The Moody Blues Lyrics
Nights in white satin
Never reaching the end
Letters I've written
Never meaning to send
Beauty I'd always missed
With these eyes before
Just what the truth is
I can't say anymore
Yes, I love you
Oh how I love you
Gazing at people, some hand in hand
Just what I'm going through they can't understand
Some try to tell me, thoughts they cannot defend
Just what you want to be, you will be in the end
And I love you
Yes, I love you
Oh how I love you
Oh how I love you
Nights in white satin
Never reaching the end
Letters I've written
Never meaning to send
Beauty I've always missed
With these eyes before
Just what the truth is
I can't say any more
'Cause I love you
Yes, I love you
Oh how I love you
Oh how I love you
'Cause I love you
Yes, I love you
Oh how I love you
Oh how I love you

I'm 70 years old now and this song still overwhelms me with emotion. I always get goosebumps and will always remember the joys of playing the album over and over and over and over..... It was one of the first exposures to orchestral music for me back then. "Band member Justin Hayward wrote and composed the song at age 19 while touring in Belgium and titled the song after a girlfriend gave him a gift of satin bedsheets. The song itself was a tale of a yearning love from afar, which leads many aficionados to term it as a tale of unrequited love endured by Hayward."

Nights in white satin
Never reaching the end
Letters I've written
Never meaning to send
Beauty I'd always missed
With these eyes before
Just what the truth is
I can't say anymore
'Cause I love you
Yes I love you
Oh, how I love you
Gazing at people
Some hand in hand
Just what I'm going through
They can't understand
Some try to tell me
Thoughts they cannot defend
Just what you want to be
You will be in the end
And I love you
Yes I love you
Oh, how I love you
Oh, how I love you
Nights in white satin
Never reaching the end
Letters I've written
Never meaning to send
Beauty I'd always missed
With these eyes before
Just what the truth is
I can't say anymore
Yes I love you
Oh, how I love you
Oh, how I love you
Yes I love you
Yes I love you
Oh, how I love you
Oh, how I love you
Breathe deep the gathering gloom
Watch lights fade from every room
Bed sitter people look back and lament
Another days useless energy spent
Impassioned lovers wrestle as one
Lonely man cries for love and has none
New mother picks up and suckles her son
Senior citizens wish they were young
Cold hearted orb that rules the night
Removes the colors from our sight
Red is gray and yellow white
But we decide which is right
And which is an illusion

Ne jamais atteindre la fin
Lettres que j'ai écrites
Je n'ai jamais eu l'intention d'envoyer
La beauté qui m'a toujours manqué
Avec ces yeux devant
Juste ce qu'est la vérité
je ne peux plus en dire
'Parce que je t'aime
Oui je t'aime
Oh, comme je t'aime
Regarder les gens
Certains main dans la main
Juste ce que je traverse
Ils ne peuvent pas comprendre
Certains essaient de me dire
Pensées qu'ils ne peuvent pas défendre
Juste ce que tu veux être
Vous serez à la fin
Et je t'aime
Oui je t'aime
Oh, comme je t'aime
Oh, comme je t'aime
Nuits en satin blanc
Ne jamais atteindre la fin
Lettres que j'ai écrites
Je n'ai jamais eu l'intention d'envoyer
La beauté qui m'a toujours manqué
Avec ces yeux devant
Juste ce qu'est la vérité
je ne peux plus en dire
Oui je t'aime
Oh, comme je t'aime
Oh, comme je t'aime
Oui je t'aime
Oui je t'aime
Oh, comme je t'aime
Oh, comme je t'aime
Respirez profondément l'obscurité qui s'accumule
Regardez les lumières s'estomper de chaque pièce
Les gens assis au lit regardent en arrière et se lamentent
Un autre jour d'énergie inutile dépensée
Les amants passionnés luttent comme un seul
L'homme seul pleure d'amour et n'en a pas
La nouvelle mère prend et allaite son fils
Les seniors aimeraient être jeunes
Orbe au cœur froid qui gouverne la nuit
Enlève les couleurs de notre vue
Le rouge est gris et jaune blanc
Mais nous décidons ce qui est juste
Et qui est une illusion
Funee man
Nuits en satin blanc
Ne jamais atteindre la fin
Lettres que j'ai écrites

55 years after the song was published and it continues to sound majestic.
A whole classic.
