NIGHTS IN WHITE SATIN (1967)
By The Moody Blues
Nights in white satin,
Never reaching the end,
Letters I`ve written,
Never meaning to send.
Beauty I`d always missed
With these eyes before,
Just what the truth is
I can`t say anymore.
Cause I love you,
Yes, I love you,
Oh, how, I love you.
Gazing at people,
Some hand in hand,
Just what I`m going through
They can understand.
Some try to tell me
Thoughts they cannot defend,
Just what you want to be
You will be in the end,
And I love you,
Yes, I love you,
Oh, how, I love you.
Oh, how, I love you.
Nights in white satin,
Never reaching the end,
Letters I`ve written,
Never meaning to send.
Beauty I`d always missed
With these eyes before,
Just what the truth is
I can`t say anymore.
Cause I love you,
Yes, I love you,
Oh, how, I love you.
Oh, how, I love you.
Cause I love you,
Yes, I love you,
Oh, how, I love you.
Oh, how, I love you.
What`s it all about?!?
How about a drug induced coma?
Only kidding!
You would have to ask The Moody Blues about that I guess.
When you do, give me a ring to let me know what they told you, okay buddy?
How about finding your own interpretation instead?
It`s much more satisfying & interesting that way, don`t you think?
I hope this answers your question.
Take it easy!

"Nights in White Satin" is a 1967 song by The Moody Blues, first featured on the album Days of Future Passed.
Band member Justin Hayward wrote the song at age nineteen, and titled the song after a friend gave him a gift of satin bedsheets. The song itself was a tale of a yearning love from afar, which leads many aficionados to term it as a tale of unrequited love endured by Hayward. The London Festival Orchestra (not a professional orchestra at all, but composed of well-regarded studio musicians) provided the musical accompaniment heard throughout, and which reached its climax before and after the song itself and the spoken-word poem. The band and orchestra makes use of the Mellotron keyboard device, which would come to define the "Moody Blues sound".

The Moody Blues, I think the title refers to satin bed sheets?

"Nights in white satin"
Nights in white satin, never reaching the end,
Letters I've written, never meaning to send.
Beauty I'd always missed with these eyes before.
Just what the truth is, I can't say anymore.
'Cos I love you, yes I love you, oh how I love you.
Gazing at people, some hand in hand,
Just what I'm going through they can't understand.
Some try to tell me, thoughts they cannot defend,
Just what you want to be, you will be in the end.
And I love you, yes I love you,
Oh how I love you, oh how I love you.
Nights in white satin, never reaching the end,
Letters I've written, never meaning to send.
Beauty I've always missed, with these eyes before.
Just what the truth is, I can't say anymore.
'Cos I love you, yes I love you,
Oh how I love you, oh how I love you.
'Cos I love you, yes I love you,
Oh how I love you, oh how I love you.
Breath deep
The gathering gloom
Watch lights fade
From every room
Bedsitter people
Look back and lament
Another day's useless
Energy spent
Impassioned lovers
Wrestle as one
Lonely man cries for love
And has none
New mother picks up
And suckles her son
Senior citizens
Wish they were young
Cold hearted orb
That rules the night
Removes the colours
From our sight
Red is gray and
Yellow white
But we decide
Which is right
And
Which is an Illusion
********
hav joy with it!
