The evening is so poignant in its stillness
No winter winds are howling
And yet your touch does not thrill me less
The heat of your kisses is still astounding
Two lovers, huddled in the shadow
Beneath the harvest moon
Our passion bringing us just a stone’s throw
From temperatures of June
Oh, how we could while away the hours
Just locked in each other’s gaze
We could spend the spring picking flowers
And the summer singing praise
The fall would be for moonlight walks
The winter for fireside contemplation
Oh, how I love our evening talks
I just wished they matched our situation
No, I cannot be with you in flesh tonight
Only in spirit
But my meager spirit takes flight
When I feel you near it
But the greatest miracle of all
Is that you are there to hear it
How it helps me to stand up tall
And compels me to praise God’s spirit
I know it was he who gave you to me
A truly divine miracle
With just a whisk, he set my romantic pain free
Using his power empirical
And what he set before me was beauty
In it truest form
It is simply my duty
To keep you far from forlorn
So, chin up
And release yourself from fear
Stay fresh as the May buttercup
For I will soon be near
80 years feels like an eternity
But so soon will it melt
And then nothing can keep you from me
And our love will truly be felt
As that date approaches
keep me in mind
And as I write “Buenos Noches”
I will hold you in mine
Together we can make it
Together if we try
We’ll never have to break it
We’ll be together, by and by
No winter winds are howling
And yet your touch does not thrill me less
The heat of your kisses is still astounding
Two lovers, huddled in the shadow
Beneath the harvest moon
Our passion bringing us just a stone’s throw
From temperatures of June
Oh, how we could while away the hours
Just locked in each other’s gaze
We could spend the spring picking flowers
And the summer singing praise
The fall would be for moonlight walks
The winter for fireside contemplation
Oh, how I love our evening talks

No, I cannot be with you in flesh tonight
