Wooden pergola is draped with leafy green
Finest starry ceiling that was ever seen
Branches weave a shelter overhead so high
Framing little windows to the midnight sky
Midnight starlight through the pergola bright
Filtering with silver and with golden light
Hear the nylon guitar play its breezy tune
Underneath the crescent of the summer moon
Midnight starlight through the pergola beams
Filling up the garden with enchanting dreams
Patterns on the ground of silver light and shade
Prettiest embroidery that starlight made
Every star a promise shining from above
Whispering of serenity and quiet love
Midnight starlight through the pergola bright
Filtering with silver and with golden light
Hear the nylon guitar play its breezy tune
Underneath the crescent of the summer moon
Midnight starlight through the pergola beams
Filling up the garden with enchanting dreams
Tilt my chin and listen to the silent night
Bathing in the glow of all that ancient light
With the Bossa Nova pulsing in my chest
Here is where my weary soul has found its rest
