Oh, heavenly night
Silver star-spun light
Shimmers across the sea.
The moon lingers low
My heart is aglow
Oh, heavenly night.
The air crisp and cold
Chills of autumn nights unfold
Shimmers across the sea.
Shooting stars above
Fill my heart with love
Oh, heavenly night.
As my worries and fears take flight
Cascades of phosphorescent light
Shimmer across the sea.
Free my spirit soars
Harvest moon adored.
Oh, heavenly night
Shimmers across the sea.
