"Nights in White Satin" is a 1967 single by The Moody Blues, first featured on the album Days of Future Passed.

"Nights In White Satin" achieved minimal attention when first released in 1967, mainly due to its seven-plus minute length.The song was re-released in 1972 after the success of such longer-running dramatic songs as "Hey Jude" and "Layla", and it charted at #2 on Billboard magazine and #1 on Cash Box in the United States.

Band member Justin Hayward wrote the song at age nineteen in Swindon, and titled the song after a friend gave him a gift of satin bedsheets.The song itself was a tale of a yearning love from afar, which leads many aficionados to term it as a tale of unrequited love endured by Hayward.

Nights In White Satin lyrics

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
'Cause 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'd always missed, with these eyes before
Just what the truth is, I can't say anymore
'Cause I love you, yes I love you
Oh, how I love you, oh, how I love you

'Cause I love you, yes I love you
Oh, how I love you, oh, how I love you

Notte di luce (lyrics)

Notte di luce
Una notte infinita
Una lettera che
Non sará mai spedita

Cos'è la realtà
lo non lo so più
Ad occhi aperti
Il mio sogno sei tu

Io ti amo
Si, ti amo
Quanto ti amo

Guardo la gente
mano per mano
nessuno capisce
quello che provo

respiro il silencio
dei tuoi pensieri
un giorno sarai
Tutto quello che speri

Io ti amo
Si, ti amo
Quanto ti amo
