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 "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"
