The lyrics sung on the recording are below:
Quiet nights and quiet stars,
Quiet chords from my guitar
Floating on the silence that surrounds us.
Quiet thoughts and quiet dreams,
Quiet walks by quiet streams,
Climbing hills where lovers go
To watch the world below together.
We will live eternally
In this mood of reverie,
Away from all the earthly cares around us.
My world was dull each minute
Until I found you in it,
And all at once the happiness I knew
Became these quiet nights of loving you.
