It Was Night
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
It was night and you walked with me
On the sand by a moonlight sea
In the warm afterglow of the wine
I believed you would always be mine
It was night and a comet fell
Such a night how could I foretell
Just how soon and lightly you'd forget it
And how long and sadly I'd regret it
It was night
And for me, alas,
It was love
