Lyrics

[Verse 1] Once upon a dangerous night I went looking for her light Past the palace guards I crept All the while a young girl slept [Verse 2] Midnight rang upon the bells Telling me that all was well Through the halls I glide in shadows To the girl that nobody knows, know, know, know, know [Instrumental Break] [Verse 3] In her chamber lying there Moonlight fingers touched her hair If I were bold as the moonlight I could taste her lips on this night [Verse 4] My eyes hungered for her face So her veil I slowly raised Though my tongue you might cut from me I would not tell what I did see, see, see, see, see [Instrumental Break] [Verse 5] As I closer bent to see Her eyes opened into me For eternity we fell In a whirling magic spell [Verse 6] As I turned to fly away Her lips opened, bid me stay But I fled into the shadows From the girl that nobody knows, know, know, know, know
