Because I turned my eye toward you   Because I seek your hand   Every other woman envies you   And me, every other man      A massive circle of jealousy   Is coming round again   Those prickly fingered scallywags   That masquerade as friends      Make a promise this very night   That they will no longer pose   A threat to either one of us   Then let the chapter close      For all the midnights in the world   This one will serve us better   If you choose to be my girl      Like Zuzu's petals, a wonderful life   The two of us shall lead   The children of the future've all the   Spiritual food they need      The secrets that the ones before   With grace, they've come and shown   Together with love for one another   We shall make them known      Remember the love of happy days   I number the grains of sand   Writing twelve times ever more   If I could be your man      Amethyst and rubies   Crystals and black pearls   I'd trade them all just to spend with you   All the midnights in the world   All the midnights in the world
