Why must you shed such tender tears
In the evening of your years?
No other love could stem the tide
Of the loneliness I hideOpen your heart and let me live
All the promises I could give
The sun and moon and all the stars
They bow down to you whenever you passIn 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 seekNo reason or rhyme, no presence of mind
Just a dance to the music of timeWhy must you shed such tender tears
In the evening of your years?
No other love could stem the tide
Of the loneliness I hideInside out, upside down
Obscured by clouds, or underground
The sun and moon and all the stars
They bow down to you whenever you passWherever 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 of timeOpen your heart and let me live
All the promises that I could give
The sun and moon and all the stars
They bow down to you whenever you passNo reason or rhyme, by chance or design
Just a dance to the music of time
