Across the Velvet Midnight

Family memory

Aiko turns a quiet midnight into a velvet sky of color and wonder.

Lyrics

Transcribed from the recording — close to the song, but not always word-perfect.

Close your eyes, sweet echo, the stars are in the hall
A sparkly friend is waiting, standing quiet and tall
With a horn that glows like moonlight and a coat of winter snow
The unicorn is where the two of you go
A tiny pair of wings is fluttering so near
The fairy is giggling, there is nothing to fear
She holds on to a ribbon, you hold on to the mane
Floating up so softly like a summer morning rain
Together you are flying, sailing through the deep
Above the houses and the trees while everyone's asleep
Across the velvet midnight, past the silver moon
Fairy unicorn, an echo humming a dream time tune
Fairy unicorn, an echo humming a dream time tune
You're floating in the clouds now where the mist is turning pink
Higher than a star can shine or a little girl can blink
I go and her magic, a sparkle in the dark, a sparkle in the dark
Safe inside the dream time where you leave your little mark
Now the sun is peaking, the dream is drifting down
Goodbye to the fairy and the unicorn's bright crown
Wake up, sweet echo, the sparkle is still here, always very near
