- I really like this song and I tried to find the lyrics on the web but I couldn't,
so I decided to write them all and translate them into my language (spanish).
I'm sorry for the mistakes.
I definetely find the correct lyrics of the song (thanks to a comment below):
The day with its cares and perplexities is ended and the night is now upon us. The night should be a time of peace and tranquility, a time to relax and be calm. We have need of a soothing story to banish the disturbing thoughts of the day, to set at rest our troubled minds, and put at ease our ruffled spirits.
And what sort of story shall we hear? Ah, it will be a familiar story, a story that is so very, very old, and yet it is so new. It is the old, old story of love.
Two lovers sat on a park bench, with their bodies touching each other, holding hands in the moonlight.
There was silence between them. So profound was their love for each other, they needed no words to express it. And so they sat in silence, on a park bench, with their bodies touching, holding hands in the moonlight.
Finally she spoke. "Do you love me, John?" she asked. "You know I love you, darling," he replied. "I love you more than tongue can tell. You are the light of my life, my sun, moon and stars. You are my everything. Without you I have no reason for being."
Again there was silence as the two lovers sat on a park bench, their bodies touching, holding hands in the moonlight. Once more she spoke. "How much do you love me, John?" she asked. He answered: "How much do I love you? Count the stars in the sky. Measure the waters of the oceans with a teaspoon. Number the grains of sand on the sea shore. Impossible, you say."
"Yes and it is just as impossible for me to say how much I love you."
"My love for you is higher than the heavens, deeper than Hades, and broader than the earth. It has no limits, no bounds. Everything must have an ending except my love for you."
There was more of silence as the two lovers sat on a park bench with their bodies touching, holding hands in the moonlight.
Once more her voice was heard. "Kiss me, John," she implored. And leaning over, he pressed his lips warmly to hers in fervent osculation.
always been my favorite philip glass song. seems to describe the feeling of love perfectly
so beautiful. I saw Carolina Crown perform this song that was based on their show last night. I'm speechless.
Good translation.... I love this recitative from Mr. Vidrio... Gracias por subir la pieza y compartir la traduccion....
Best regards
Finally someone accurately described what LOVE IS between two souls (or maybe one soul found in two bodies) Thank you!
SO PROFOUND WAS THEIR LOVE THEY NEEDED NO WORDS TO EXPRESS IT. YOU ARE MY EVERYTHING. COUNT THE STARS IN THE SKY. THE NUMBER OF GRAIINS OF SAND ON THE SEASHORE.EVERYTHING HAS AN ENDING EXCEPT MY LOVE FOR YOU.
Thank you for the Spanish translation. I loved that! :D
"Impossible, you say?"
Gracias, ame la traducción. ❤️
A beauty ...
On the same vibe Steve Reich "Music for 18 Musicians" -Pulse

Samuel M. Johnson: Lovers on a Park Bench
...after listen to this song my girlfriend said "yes". Now, she is my wife.
This sounds like the sort of thing Daniel Johnston would write if he attempted classical.
The words in the video are slightly off. Here’s my beer standing:
The day with its cares and perplexity is ended and the night is now upon us.
The night should be a time of peace and tranquility. A time to relax and be calm.
We have need of a soothing story, to banish the disturbing thoughts of the day.
To set at rest our troubled minds and put at ease our ruffled spritis.
And what of story shall we hear? Ahh it will be a familiar story. A story that is so very, very old. And yet it is so new.
It is the old, old story of love. Two lovers sat on a park bench, with their bodies touching each other. Holding hands in the moonlight.
There was silence between them. So profound was their love for each other they needed no words to express it.
And so they sat in silence, on a park bench - with their bodies touching, holding hands in the moonlight.
Finally, she spoke "Do you love me, John?" She asked. "You know I love you darling" He replied. "I love you more than tongue can tell"
"You are the light of my life. My sun, moon and stars. You are my everying. Without you, I have no reason for being."
Again there waas silence, as the two lovers sat on a park bench ,their bodies touching, holding hands in the moonlight.
Once more, she spoke "How much do you love me, John?" She asked.
He answered: "How much do I love you?"
"Count the stars in the sky. Measure the waters of the ocean with a teaspoon. Number the grains of sand on the seashore.. Impossible you say? Yes, and it is just as impossible for me to say how much I love you. My love for you is higher than the heavens, deeper than Hades, and broader than the Earth. It has no limits, no bounds, Everything must have an ending except my love for you."
There was more of silence as the two lovers sat on a park bench, with their bodies touching - holding hands in the moonlight"
Once more her voice was heard "Kiss me, John" She implored. And leaning over he pressed his lips warmly to hers in fervent osculation."
Exquisite...
@Nahar360 you only have the ending half of the song where is the beginning 4 minutes the song is supposed to be 8 minutes long....
We're doing this knee in my high school for one-act plays! I'm the only ninth grader in my senior-directed play, and I'm one of the female narrators. The play is beautiful. But could someone please give me a tip on memorizing the nonsensical poetry?
Quanto eu desejo que meu amor pela minha amada seja como o amor de D*s para comigo! Este é o Amor Perfeito, do qual sou incapaz...
Oh, c'mmon! This is so ironic! It's beautiful piece of music indeed and I can't stop pushing the replay button but for me it IS NOT serious... just for laugh about it.
I can’t find this on Spotify 😭
The lyrics are a little off. Not a big deal, but thought I'd mention it. First slide should read; "..and the night is now upon us." Also.. "we have need of a soothing story." not a sudden story.. " and put at ease our ruffled spirits.." "without you, I have no reason for being" .." my love for you is Higher than the heavens.."
who is the man that reads this piece? his voice is beautiful!
a question 10 years old that has yet to be answered
She didn't ask why.
here is the text for the whole work .... this segment is the very last one. culturebox.francetvinfo.fr/sites/default/files/assets/documents/eob_text_for_libretto.pdf

These "lyrics" are horribly off...
Does anyone know what are the women's chorus repeating?
I think they alts are repeating the notes: Fa, Sol, Do. But I dont understand the soprano notes sadly
What a tablespoon is???..is teaspoon
3:04 spells impossible on chalk board wrong
watch?v=2CYK-OIOMXk is another version with the first half, I think
lyrics are incorrect
Quanto eu desejo que meu amor pela minha amada seja como o amor de D*s para comigo! Este é o Amor Perfeito, do qual sou incapaz...
I feel like #CarolinaCrown did a better job on the narration
