Song: Twilight Time
by The Platters
Heavenly shades of night are falling, it's
Twilight Time
Out of the mist your voice is calling, "Tis Twilight Time"
When purple colored curtains mark the end of day
I'll hear you, my dear, at Twilight Time.
Deepening shadows gather splendor as day is
done
Fingers of night will soon surrender the setting sun
I count the moments, darling, til you're here with me
Together, at last, at Twilight Time.
Here in the afterglow of day
We keep our rendezvous beneath the blue
Here in the sweet and same old way
I fall in love again as I did then.
Deep in the dark your kiss will thrill me
like days of old
Lighting the spark of love that fills me with dreams untold
Each day I pray for evening just to be with you
Together at last at Twilight Time
Here in the afterglow of day
We keep our rendezvous beneath the blue
Here in the sweet and same old way
I fall in love again as I did then.
Deep in the dark your kiss will thrill me
like days of old
Lighting the spark of love that fills me with dreams untold
Each day I pray for evening just to be with you
Together at last at Twilight Time
Together at last at Twilight Time
In 1958 The Platters introduced "Twilight Time" on Dick
Clark's American Bandstand Saturday night TV show. A film of
the Platters performing the song was used for promotion and might have been
the first music video.
"Twilight Time" became #1 on Pop and R&B charts in the
spring of 1958.
