VERSE 1

Male: I picked a rose among these ancient walls

A garden made for love

but nothing grows at all

I heard your laughter and I almost knew

That we'd share our life together

Female: And still surrounded by this fortress strong

Kept from your loving arms too long

CHORUS

Both: If we just close our eyes and begin a new day

We could turn back the time to a world far away

Where our hearts beat as one through the passing of ages

Male: Oh, we could turn back time start a brand new day

Female: If we just close our eyes

VERSE 2

Male: I saw you walking with the sacred fire

A girl her eyes so wild with anger and confusion

The only spark of life to grace this land

Both: We shared this hope eternal (Male whisper: eternal)

Female: And now it seems as though you've found your place

(Male: found your place)

Lost my loving embrace

CHORUS

BRIDGE

Male: I'll give more than forever

Female: Our love will carry us away

Both: Together we'll fly if we just close our eyes
