TRANSCRIBER'S NOTE: A different format is used here. Because most lyrics

are sung by all four of the Four Aces, said lyrics are not annotated. Those sung

(It is written on the wind)

(It is written on the wind)



A faithless lover's kiss is written on the wind

A night of stolen bliss is written on the wind

Just like the tide leaves

Our dreams we've calmly thrown away

Now they've flown away

{Softly flown away}



The promises we made are whispers in the breeze

They echo and they fade just like our memories

Though you are gone from me

We never can really be apart

What's written on the wind

Is written in my heart



Though you are gone from me

We never can really be apart

What's written on the wind

Is written in my heart



Is written in my heart



(It is written on the wind)
