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"
