A waltz with different tempos.

That Night
(c) HwBerkhout, may 2017/ april, 2023

Sitting with my photo book on my lap 
I felt a bit sad
Browsing through the pages filled with history
I fell out of my bed

The nurse had to help me up
and handed me the book too
But somehow it was difficult for me
to look at all the faces I once knew

I thought:
All that matters will fly away
Yes, all that matters, 
will be gone one day

Chorus:
But still I see that night, that night
Oh, so impressed I was
By the moon and the stars 
in the sky so bright 

In that night we all danced 
Yes, life then began
We were young, had it all
Oh, this was fun...

-solo-

Sitting in my tiny jailish room 
Nothing much to hold on
I wonder why I'm still here,
while my life is already gone

Time stood still with that album on my lap 
but soaked with tears now 
I saw my trembling hands
and tried to stand up, but fell again

I thought:
All that matters, 
will fly away
Yes, all that matters, 
will be gone one day

Chorus till end:
But still I feel that night, that night
Oh, so impressed I was
By the moon and the stars 
in the sky so bright

Yes, it was that night, we found love
We were young, 
and had all
we dreamed of...

That night, that night
Oh, so impressed I was
By the moon, the stars and you
in that light...

Comes a night, a night
I will fly to you
The moon and the stars will be there too
That night, our night, is a beautiful sight

That Night

I compose songs, write lyrics and sing most of them. I don't have  'one'  style. It depends on my mood or on certain issues that are going on in our world. AND some listeners can even tell which songs are genuine 'Birchwood-songs' (!)
