Lyrics
When the curtains fall down
And the night settles 'round
The sky is a canvas of diamonds
In the dark of the night
When the moon isn't bright
I see millions of sparkling jewels
In the cool mountain air
There is beauty to share
The sky is a canvas of diamonds
In the dark of the night
Everything is alright
I see millions of shimmering stars
I see millions of shimmering stars
In the dark of the night
When I’m stuck in traffic in downtown LA
Or I’m down in the San Joaquin Valley
With all the light and the noise I can never convey
What I’ve seen in the dark of the night
What I’ve seen in the dark of the night
Thirty miles from here
When the sky is clear
I can see the lights of the city
But they don't compare
To the glory up there
To the millions of shimmering stars
As I stand in this place
And I turn up my face
To the glorious canvas of diamonds
The world fades away
As I stand in dismay
Of the millions of shimmering stars
Of the millions of shimmering stars
Oh take me away from the heat of the day
To the nights near Tahoe City
Where the stars twinkle out
And they dance all about
High above Emerald Bay
High above Emerald Bay
When the curtains fall down
And the night settles 'round
The sky is a canvas of diamonds
And the night settles 'round
The sky is a canvas of diamonds
In the dark of the night
When the moon isn't bright
I see millions of sparkling jewels
Millions of sparkling jewels
In the dark of the night
In the dark of the night
In the dark of the night
