Heavenly shades of night are falling,
It's twilight time.
Out of the mist your voice is calling,
It's twilight time,
When purple colored curtains
Mark the end of the day.
I 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,
Together at last at twilight time.
Here, in the after-glow of day,
We keep our rendez-vous beneath the blue.
Here, in the sweet and same old way,
I 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......
Together at last at twilight time.
