I enjoy Cole Porter’s lyricism. He’s usually very witty, albeit sometimes a little sketchy if you know his background. He’s also very poetic, and mixed with fun melodies that go all over the place, you have yourself one dandy of a song. Which fits, because he was one Dandy of a songwriter.
In The Still Of The Night
-Cole Porter
In the still of the night
As I gaze through my window
At the moon in its flight
My thoughts all turn to you
In the still of the night
All the world is in slumber
All the times without number
Darling when I say to you
Do you love me as I love you?
Are you my life to be, my dream come true?
Or will this dream of mine fade out of sight
Like the moon growing dim
On the rim of a hill
In the chill, still
Of the night
I'm Jason, and I like to write.
