Why must you shed such tender tears |
|
In the evening of your years? |
|
No other love could stem the tide |
|
Of the loneliness I hide |
|
Open your heart and let me live |
|
All the promises I could give |
|
The sun and moon and all the stars |
|
They bow down to you whenever you pass |
|
In a world of fading sadness |
|
An emerald ring, a photograph |
|
That look in your eyes, the brush of your cheek |
|
These are the moments in life that I seek |
|
No reason or rhyme, no presence of mind |
|
Just a dance to the music of time |
|
Why must you shed such tender tears |
|
In the evening of your years? |
|
No other love could stem the tide |
|
Of the loneliness I hide |
|
Inside out, upside down |
|
Obscured by clouds, or underground |
|
The sun and moon and all the stars |
|
They bow down to you whenever you pass |
|
Wherever you are, whenever you speak |
|
These are the moments in my life that I seek |
|
No reason or rhyme, by chance or design |
|
Just a dance to the music of time |
|
Open your heart and let me live |
|
All the promises that I could give |
|
The sun and moon and all the stars |
|
They bow down to you whenever you pass |
|
No reason or rhyme, by chance or design |
|
Just a dance to the music of time |
