Prince — All the Midnights in the World

[Verse 1] Because I turned my eye toward you Because I seek your hand Every other woman envies you And me, every other man A massive circle of jealousy Is coming 'round again Those prickly fingered scalawags That masquerade as friends [Verse 2] Make a promise this very night That they will no longer pose A threat to either one of us Then let the chapter close For all the midnights in the world This one will serve us better If you choose to be my girl [Verse 3] Like Zuzu's petals A wonderful life, the two of us shall lead The children of the future've all the Spiritual food they need The secrets that the ones before With grace, they've come and shown Together with love for one another We shall make them known [Verse 4] With the love and happy days I number the grains of sand Writing twelve times ever more If I could be your man Amethyst and rubies Crystals and black pearls I trade them all, just to spend with you All the midnights in the world All the midnights in the world
