Why must you shed such tender tears
In the evening of your years?
No other love could stem the tide
Of the loneliness I hide
Open your heart and let me live
All the promises I could give
The sun, the 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 in time
Why must you shed such tender tears
In the evening of your years?
No other love could stem the tide
Of the loneliness I hide
Inside out, upside down
Obscured by clouds or underground
The sun, the moon, and all the stars
They bow down to you whenever you pass
Wherever you are, whenever you speak
These are the moments in my life that I seek
No reason or rhyme, by chance or design
Just a dance to the music in time
Open your heart again and let me live
And all the promises that I could give
The sun, the 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 in time
