“The warm look of radiance on your face
And your heart beating close to mine
And the evening fading in the candle glow
This must be what it's all about
Oh this must be what it's all about
This must be what paradise is like
So quiet in here. So peaceful in here
So quiet in here, yeah, so peaceful in here.”

Van Morrison (1945) Northern Irish singer-songwriter and musician

Was in some quiet breast
That found the common daylight sweet,
And left to Heaven the rest.”
