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!
