It's about a relationship that's passed. A love that's no longer in his life, and the trials one goes through when the love is not resiprecated. The song title conjures a fantasy of romantic nights in bed with pristine white sheets. The narrator sings about this love, this fantasy or memory he has for another.
Nights in white satin refers to the satin light from the cold hearted orb that rules the night (the moon). It is a poem of a long lonely night of lamenting a lost love. All those around do not understand. The orb makes everything gray and white. Take a look at a cool moonlit night with wispy sad clouds.

Nights in white satin Never reaching the end Letters I've written Never meaning to send Beauty I'd always missed With these eyes before Just what the truth is I can't say anymore Yes I love you Yes I love you Oh, how I love you Oh, how I love you Yes I love you Yes I love you Oh, how I love you Oh, how I love you Breathe deep the gathering gloom
When I hear this song, I think of a bedroom in a castle, and there is a big bed with a canopy that is white satin, and there are white satin sheets, and a woman in a white satin gown. She is with her love and they are lying on the bed just holding each other. JOZyvl.
