Every show must have a song
Most everyone agrees
For what else could the ingenue
And the juvenile reprise
And so I wrote a random noteA harmony or two
And when it came to add the words
I tried describing you
A very precious love
Is what you are to me
A stairway to a starA night in Shangril of ecstasy
Lanterns of gold
Lanterns of blue
Twinkle in the shadows
While I dance with you
An echo in the windAcross the summer lake
Is sayin' you should know
That lanterns lose their glow
