And 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 the woman said, "No"
And the man said, "But, I love you so"
And the woman moved closer
And the 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 of glass
And the woman said, "Change"
And the man said, "As soon as I can"
And the woman said, "Open up"
And the man said, "Your way's right, you're my love
I won't be holding 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 the man said, "I love you so"
And the woman moved closer
And the man said, "Take my love into your heart
I must have you here by my side"
