We went walking after dark
Watching lamps light in the park
Waiting for the stars to re-appear
Never speaking of what we know
That soon you'll have to go
Back to the world where you belong
Do you think if we pretend
That this day will never end
All of our dreams will come true
Riding the subways everywhere
Knowing you'd always be there
Safe from all the things we used to fear
When I see you cry
Or sigh some awful sigh
I know you're hiding away
Some sad simple thing
A bad memory will bring
And won't let you go
But do you think if we pretend
That this day will never end
All of our dreams will come true
You'll remember that one day
We all have to go away
But till then I will stay with you
And keep you company
Just think of what we'll see
Sitting underneath the cherry tree
