Moody Blues - Nights in White Satin Lyrics

The album version of 'Nights in White Satin' included a spoken word poem on the end: "Late Lament." However, I felt the image I was trying to portray was more powerful with only the song. I apologise if this upsets anyone.
The lyrics are in the video, but here also:
Nights in white satin, never reaching the end,
Letters I've written, never meaning to send.
Beauty I'd always missed with these eyes before.
Just what the truth is, I can't say anymore.
'Cos I love you, yes I love you, oh how I love you.
Gazing at people, some hand in hand,
Just what I'm going through they can't understand.
Some try to tell me, thoughts they cannot defend,
Just what you want to be, you will be in the end.
And I love you, yes I love you,
Oh how I love you, oh how I love you.
Nights in white satin, never reaching the end,
Letters I've written, never meaning to send.
Beauty I've always missed, with these eyes before.
Just what the truth is, I can't say anymore.
'Cos I love you, yes I love you,
Oh how I love you, oh how I love you.
'Cos I love you, yes I love you,
Oh how I love you, oh how I love you.

I lost my wife of 37 years in January. Every word of this song now has a whole new meaning. It's hauntingly beautiful and brings back so many wonderful memories. Oh, how I love you Cheryl.

My Wife of 29 years passed 8/5/2022. For the last 2 weeks as she laid there, sometime aware, sometime not, I'd softly sing this song, as it was her favorite. No matter what, she would smile once I started, except the last 2 days. I think she was between Worlds. I still sang it to her. Rest in Peace Carolyn, thank you for loving me.

Anyone still listening to this song in 2023 God bless you. Such a wonderful song. One of a kind. It's about love yet its so tragic and heart breaking for some reason. They def dont make music like they used too that's for damn sure.

We played this song for my daddy as he was on his way to the other side. He loved music and the Moody Blues band. I love you daddy.

I'm 74. This song brings back memories, feelings of my hippie era. Met my wife on the corner of Haight Ashbury in February 1968. Got married three months later. Still married 54 years later. Thanks to her and songs like this.

The lead singer has one of the most underrated voices in history. He’s never off key, he always hits the mark, and their songs are not easy to sing. But he’s always dead bang on in everything.

I'm listening to this and realizing how fast life Goes by~ 1 second you're 20 years old riding a Harley across the United States and then you look up and see that you're in your 60's looking at terminal cancer Don't waste a second of it, Live your Dreams with God by Your side 🙏
