And as the band began to play

Without a song they lose their way

A song of love and custom dreams

A song of yesterday



When they danced

When they danced

Her skirts were lifted high

She felt the music in his arms

The danger in his eyes



And a woman said no

And a man said but I love you so

And a woman moved closer

And a man said take my love into your heart

I must have you here by my side



It happened all too fast

They came to love and they came to last

No-one remembers now who lied

True love is made glass



And a woman said change

And a man said as soon as I can

And a woman said open up

And a man said your way's right

You're my love

I want to be holdin' you down



In the evening of their lives

No regrets and clear blue skies

They meet again in old New York

He tells her one sweet lie



And they danced

And they danced

And a man said I love you

And a woman said take my love into your heart

I must have you here by my side
