What's the romantic tune Conway plays on the piano?


It's a familiar piece but I'm going nuts trying to remember who wrote it.

Brams? Chopin? One of those impressionist Frogs?

Lyrics were written for this beautiful Chopin piece and the resulting song was recorded by many artists from the 1930s onwards as "So Deep is the Night".

So deep is the night
No moon tonight
No friendly star
To guide me with its light
Be still my heart
Silent lest my love should be returning
From a world far apart

So deep is the night
O, lonely night
On broken wings
My heart has taken flight
And left a dream
In my dream our lips are blending
Will my dream be never ending?
Will your memory haunt me 'til I die?

Alone am I, deep into the night
Waiting for the light
Alone am I
I wonder why
Deep is the night

Mhalia Jackson recorded it with gospel lyrics in the 70s. I forgot the name she gave it.
