Quiet nights of quiet stars, quiet chords from my guitar Floating in the silence that surrounds us Quiet thoughts and quiet dreams, Quiet walks by quiet streams, And a window looking on the mountains and the sea How lovely! This is where I want to be Here, with you so close to me, Until the final flicker of life's ember I who was lost and lonely, believing life was only A bitter tragic joke, have found with you The meaning of existence oh, my love.
