“Desiree,
Oh, Desiree.
There I was found
By the sweet passion sound
Of your loving song.
Time was right, the night was long.Remember Desiree,
Oh, Desiree.
And though somehow I knew
I could only have you 'til the morning light,
The night was long, the time was right.”
Desiree

"We Could Have Been Sweethearts (You Could Have Been Lonely)" from Spin of the Wheel (1990) · Video performance http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=srPQliLGM4I
Context: Well you could have been lonely every night now,
Could have cried a whole lot more, been a little bit blue
Oh, you could have been lonely, for your one and only,
You could have loved me as much as I love you.

O guiding night! O night more lovely than the dawn!
O night that has united the Lover with his beloved, transforming the beloved in her Lover.

Oh night thou was my guide
Oh night more loving than the rising sun
Oh night that joined the lover to the beloved one
transforming each of them into the other.
