GAUDY NIGHT song lyrics
by Joel Sattler

[based on a passage from ANTONY AND CLEOPATRA by Shakespeare]

one more gaudy night
let's have one more gaudy night
under a moon a moon so bright
one more gaudy night

oh my sad captains we have lost
but let us fill our cups once more
let us mock the midnight bell
for morning we'll be on the shore

on the shore and sail away
never to return to here
so celebrate and drink all up
tomorrow we can shed our tears

one more gaudy night
let's have one more gaudy night
under a moon a moon so bright
one more gaudy night

death will love me and I will
stare down the lightning when we fight
the battle that we live within
was over at the set of light

and as for now we party hearty
and laugh and laugh and laugh and laugh
because we know that come tomorrow
all our joy is torn in half

one more gaudy night
let's have one more gaudy night
under a moon a moon so bright
one more gaudy night

let us play
let us love
let us toast
the stars above
let us have
a taste of light
on this one more gaudy night
