How many nights have I lay down with you,
a blanket of stars pulled up over our heads?
Whippoorwills whispered with voices like children.
What was it that those Whippoorwills said?
Chorus:
Don't you know that I love you,
with all my heart?
Don't you know that I love you,
with all my heart?
How many nights have I lay down with you
in a cloud burst of starlight that poured form the sky?
Stars fell like snowflakes. Stars fell like thunder.
Stars fell like lazy fireflies.
Chorus
The constellations slowly drift by
as we drift ashore in the shallow tide
of a lavender dawn swelling in the sky.
Chorus
How many nights have I lay down with you,
while stars, like wildflowers, all blossomed and bloomed?
We tilled the rich soil, and we gathered bouquets,
intoxicated by the perfume.
