Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Out of the mist your voice is calling it's twilight time
When purple colored curtain mark the end of day
Hear you my dear at twilight time
Deepening shadows gather splendor as day is done
Fingers of night will soon surrender the setting sun
I count the moments darling till you're here with me
Here in the afterglow of day we keep your rendezvous beneath the blue
Here in the sweet and same old day fall in love again as I did then
Deep in the dark your kiss will thrill me like days of old
Lighting the spark of love that fills me with dreams untold
Each day I pray for evening just to be with you together at last at twilight time
Deep in the dark
Together at last at twilight time
