Perfect, so perfect
This night seems to me
Blackness like velvet
Caressing my cheek
White moon and clear stars
Flowing branches that sway
The soft sound of voices
Only minutes away
Quiet, so quiet
The years have long passed
Since one perfect nighttime
And love’s perfect act
Did darkness seem scary
For a baby just born
Could you hear heaven’s voices
Did you feel all alone?
In one perfect moment, the human and holy
One perfect moment, the humble and mighty
One perfect moment, you are born in my heart
One perfect moment, cradled there in the dark
Perfect, so perfect
This God wrapped in skin
I’ll bring you a blanket
To bundle you in
White moon and clear stars
Flowing branches that sway
The soft sound of angels
Only minutes away
In one perfect moment, the human and holy
One perfect moment, the humble and mighty
One perfect moment, cradled there in the dark
One perfect moment, you are born in my heart
