In the tenderness of the night they heard a voice
whisper – all music is holy

Tender is the Night

The cadence
and the power
of the lyrics
flowing through
the amplified voice
in the blue of
the night
threw a mantle
of pure magic

On that magnetized
cloud so dense
they waltzed
and the truth
of the lyrics

threw a mantle
so dense

And the good time

and modern pop
found a unity
so complete

In the tenderness
of the night
they heard a voice
whisper
all music is holy
