Why must you shed such tender tears

In the evening of your years

No other love could stem the tideOf 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

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

No reason or rhyme, no presence of mind

Just a dance to the music of time
