And the band began to play
Without a song they'd 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 of 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 won't 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, "And 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"
