Twilight Time is a song with lyrics by songwriter Buck Ram (the seminal force behind The Platters, who were originally named “The Buck Ram Platters”) and music by The Three Suns (Morty Nevins, Al Nevins, and Artie Dunn). The Three Suns also originally recorded the song, which hit for them in 1944 at #8. Al Nevins would later go on to become a music producer together with Don Kirshner, forming Aldon music.

[C] Heavenly shades of night are falling, [E7] it’s twilight time [Am] Out of the mist your voice is calling, [C7] it’s twilight time. [F] When purple [Fm] colored curtains [C] mark the end of [Am] day; I’ll [D7] hear you, my dear, at twilight [G] time

[C] Deepening shadows gather splendor [E7] as day is done [Am] Fingers of night will soon surrender [C7] the setting sun. [F] I count the [Fm] moments darling [C] till you’re here with [Am] me. To-[D7]-gether at [G] last at twilight [C] time

[E7] Here, in the afterglow of day, we [Am] keep our rendezvous beneath the blue [D7] And in the same and sweet old way, I [G] fall in love [F] again as [G7] I did then

[C] Deep in the dark your kiss will thrill me [E7] like days of old [Am] Lighting the spark of love within me [C7] of dreams untold [F] Each day I (Fm) pray for evening [C] just to be with [Am] you. To-[D7]-gether at [G] last at twilight time [C]

:: To-[D7]-gether at [G] last at twilight [C] time

TWILIGHT TIME 1944 |
FLICKERING SHADES OF NIGHT ARE FALLING
IT’S TWILIGHT TIME.
OUT OF THE MIST YOUR VOICE IS CALLING,
IT’S TWILIGHT TIME.
WHEN PURPLE-COLORED CURTAINS
MARK THE END OF DAY,
I 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,
TILL 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.
