Tender is the Night

                                       Tender is the Night

                  Tender is the night

          That heals our hurts and eases our concerns

By giving shelter from mind-threatening alarms.

                   Tender is the night

          Whose secret hours conceal emotions’ force

Behind discreet closed curtains and secure shut doors.

                    Tender is the night

          Where loneliness finds comforting release

In sleep and weariness discovers dreaming peace.

                    Tender is the night

          That cradles in its arms the whole world’s scope

And gently croons a soothing lullaby of hope.

                    Tender is the night.
