Knights in white satin.?!
Question: "Nights in White Satin" is a 1967 song by The Moody Blues, first featured on the album Days of Future Passed.
It was not a popular title when first released. This was mainly due to its length, which at seven minutes and thirty-eight seconds was longer than the norm at that time. There are two edited versions of the song, both stripped of the orchestra and poetry from the LP version. The first version, with the songwriter's credit shown as "Redwave",
Band member Justin Hayward wrote the song at age nineteen, and titled the song after a friend gave him a gift of satin bedsheets. The song itself was a tale of a yearning love from afar, which leads many aficionados to term it as a tale of unrequited love endured by Hayward. The London Festival Orchestra provided the musical accompaniment heard throughout, and which reached its climax before and after the song itself and the spoken-word poem. The band and orchestra makes use of the Mellotron keyboard device, which would come to define the "Moody Blues sound".

Though you wrote it wrongly, I'm not surprised as when I used to hold a request NIGHT for UK tourists, many of them who requested it wrote it that way.
Extra piece of information is that it made a hit in the US, in the early 70s was due to the fact that one DJ who wanted to go out and have a smoke, as he was working the graveyard shift (NIGHT-time), chose it as it was the longest available single. He played it, went out in the NIGHT to have smoke and the day after there was a demand for it from customers who wanted to buy it as they enjoyed it..
