It's a winter's night, the stars are bright And the world keeps spinning around Wish I had you And an old Gershwin tune I'd be wearing a gossamer gown A gossamer, gossamer, gossamer gown I'd be wearing a gossamer gown Wish I had you and an old Gershwin tune I'd be wearing a gossamer gown I love the quiet after midnight When there's not a cop in sight There's a holiness In this loneliness That speeds this heart through the night
Though sometimes I feel like a sailor I'm just married to the sea It's a long stretch of road and another show I'll be back again you'll see Thought I can't find no consolation In this empty bed of mind I'll raise my gla** and gently ask Won't the band play a waltz this time It's a winter's night, the stars are bright And the world keeps spinning around Wish I had you And an old Gershwin tune I'd be wearing a gossamer gown
