[Verse 1]
I sent you a kiss in the night
Did it reach you my darling?
Did it reach you and rest on your lips?
In the stillness apart
Did we meet in the spell of that kiss?
Did I hold you my darling
For just one beat of your heart?
Did it tell you to dream of the light and not of the shadows?
To dream of the love that we found
So tender and true
To dream of the sunshine and song
Of that golden tomorrow
My heart is planned for you
[Verse 2]
I sent you a kiss in the night
Did it reach you my darling?
When the wind sang a song to the leaves
And the stars were so bright
Did you stir in your sleep?
Did you smile?
Did I bring you, my darling
A moment of bliss when I sent you that kiss in the night ?
In the night
