The light doesn't know

what I do in the dark

It's brightness can't show

where shadows touch my heart

*

The warm tender glow

that it grants for our sight

Or how far I would go

sometimes to stay out of its light

*

The light has no clue

what the darkness allows

That without any cue

starlight pleases and wow's

*

The magic of moonlight

and sounds of the night

No one watches or judges

what I feel is alright

*

All the nocturnal things

that come out to play

And the songs that we sing

can't be done in the day

*

But at dusk, as the sunlight

no longer in charge

Goes to bed, says goodnight

disappears to re-charge

*

Thats when the night time

follies begin.
