Cover art for Nights In White Satin lyrics by Moody Blues, The

My Interpretation starts from the line "Just what you want to be, you will be in the end" and he goes on to say how much he loves her

To me the song is all about letting go of the one you love so she can have her own life when you realise that your attachment will prevent her from having that life

The songs starts with the double entendre, "Nights in white satin, never reaching the end" then the "Letters I've written, never meaning to send" are his Knights in White Satin. These Knights would have told her what he can't say anymore, just what the truth is, because he really does love her

The rest of the song fits the pattern. Couples can't understand what he is going through, friends tell him he shouldn't have let her go, and he realises he never realised her beauty
