Introduction
Step back to 1944, where a young Buck Ram penned a poem under the starry veil of dusk. This lyrical ode to longing and anticipation became the foundation for “Twilight Time,” a song destined to serenade generations. The melody, composed by the Three Suns trio, painted a soundscape of velvety shadows and hushed promises, perfectly capturing the essence of that evocative hour between day and night.
In 1958, “Twilight Time” found its forever home with The Platters. Their smooth, honeyed vocals, layered in rich doo-wop harmonies, breathed life into the lyrics. The arrangement, laced with gentle guitar and rhythmic handclaps, exuded a romantic charm that resonated with listeners across the globe. The song skyrocketed to the top of both pop and R&B charts, cementing its place as a timeless classic.
“Twilight Time” transcended its chart-topping success. It became a cultural touchstone, featured in countless films and television shows, from “American Graffiti” to “Mad Men.” Its evocative imagery found its way into literature and poetry, forever linking the song to the bittersweet beauty of twilight.
As the final rays of day fade, prepare to be captivated by the magic of “Twilight Time.” Let the Platters’ voices wash over you, carrying you to a world of whispered secrets and stolen kisses. This is a song not just to be heard, but to be felt, a timeless love letter to the enchantment of twilight.

Lyrics
Heavenly shades of night are fallingIt’s twilight timeOut of the mist your voice is calling‘Tis twilight timeWhen purple coloured curtainsMark the end of dayI’ll hear you, my dear, at twilight timeDeepening shadows gather splendourAs day is doneFingers of night will soon surrenderThe setting sunI count the moments, darling‘Til you’re here with meTogether at last at twilight timeHere in the afterglow of dayWe keep our rendezvousBeneath the blueHere in the same and sweet old wayI fall in love againAs I did thenDeep in the dark your kiss will thrill meLike days of oldLighting the spark of love that fills meWith dreams untoldEach day I pray for eveningJust to be with youTogether at last at twilight timeHere in the afterglow of dayWe keep our rendezvousBeneath the blueHere in the same and sweet old wayI fall in love againAs I did thenDeep in the dark your kiss will thrill meLike days of oldLighting the spark of love that fills meWith dreams untoldEach day I pray for eveningJust to be with youTogether at last at twilight timeTogether at last at twilight time
