Twilight Time

Lyrics: Buck Ram, Morty Nevins, Al Nevins
Music: Buck Ram, Morty Nevins, Al Nevins

A Platters' song covered by Bob Weir with Rob Wasserman, with Ratdog and with The Dead.

Heavenly shades of night are falling, it's twilight time
Out of the mist your voice comes calling, 'tis twilight time
When velvet shades of purple mark the end of day (note 1)
I'm with you, at last, at twilight time

Deepening shadows gather splendor as day is done
Fingers of night will soon surrender the setting sun
I count the moments darling till you're here with me
Together at last at twilight time

Here in the afterglow of day
We keep our rendezvous beneath the blue
Here in the sweet and simple way
I fall in love again as I did then

Deep in the dark your kiss will thrill me like days of old
Lighting a spark of love that soon will fill me with dreams untold
Each day I pray for evening just to be with you
Together at last at twilight time

Here in the afterglow of day
We keep our rendezvous beneath the blue
Here in the sweet and simple way
I fall in love again as I did then

Deep in the dark your kiss will thrill me like days of old
Lighting a spark of love that fills me with dreams untold
Each day I pray for evening just to be with you
Together at last at twilight time
Together at last at twilight time
Together at last at twilight time
Notes
(1) the Platters version is "When purple on the curtains ..."
