The Magical Time of Day

You know that time of day, right before the sun has completely set, but the moon has risen to glow in the dark blue sky? It's magical.

During that time, everything is right with the world. You even see a star or two. The colors are rich and exciting; everything is silhouetted against a sky that is both on fire with oranges and calm like the sea with sapphires and navys. Nothing can go wrong when the sky is like that.


When the Day Met the Night

When the moon fell in love with the sun
All was golden in the sky
All was golden when the day met the night

When the sun found the moon
She was drinking tea in a garden
Under the green umbrella trees
In the middle of summer

When the moon found the sun
He looked like he was barely hanging on
But her eyes saved his lifeIn the middle of summer
In the middle of summer

All was golden in the sky
All was golden when the day met the night
Summer, all was golden in the sky
All was golden when the day met the night
Summer
Golden when the day met the night

So he said, "Would it be all right
If we just sat and talked for a little while
If in exchange for your time, I give you this smile?"

So she said, "That's okay
As long as you can make a promise not to break my little heart
Or leave me all alone in the summer."

Well, he was just hanging around
Then he fell in love
And he didn't know how
But he couldn't get out

Just hanging around
Then he fell in love
In the middle of summer
All was golden in the sky

All was golden when the day met the night
Summer, all was golden in the sky
All was golden when the day met the night
Summer
When the moon fell in love with the sun,

All was golden in the sky,
All was golden when the day met the night
Summer
The middle of summer, summer, summer, summer
The middle of summer, summer, summer, summer
The middle of summer, summer, summer, summer
