The Evening Primrose Lyrics

You know the bloom, unearthly white
That none has seen by morning light
The tender moon, alone, may bare
Its beauty to the secret air
Who'd venture past its dark retreat
Must kneel, for holy things and sweet
That blossom, mystically blown
No man may gather for his own
Nor touch it, lest it droop and fall…
Oh, I am not like that at all!

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
