Dearest Esmeralda

Dearest Esmeralda in another age Antiques would be modern We would be the rage Silk would be in fashion We would dress in lace Love would be the passion And the saving grace I slept one rainy night with you in Paris Made up for a thousand wasted years Dearest Esmeralda you are ma-gic I close my eyes and you make love appear Dancing in the shimmer Of a crystal chandelier Shadows singing so low Only we could he-ar Moving to the glimmer Shaking to the storm Outside it was raging But inside it was warm We said goodnight in the candlelight and thunder Now I wake and find you're never there I'm becoming old enough to won-der Happy that I'm still too young to care Masterpieces crumble Empires tumble down Refugees and fantasies go underground Romance lasts forever Love don't fade away They may take our future But they can't stop yesterday Cause somewhere in the cloudy skies of Paris We were part of some artists design Dearest Esmeralda you are magic In the gray around me how you shine Oooh, how you shine!
