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 magic

I close my eyes and you make love appear

Dancing in the shimmer of a crystal chandelier

Shadows singin so low only we could hear

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 wonder

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 don'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

Oh oh how you shine
