The Terrace

[Verse 1]
Now the curtain is raised
On [?] days
And memory rolls back
Though dark, silent waves
And the night is so dark
It's so warm and so black
Like the lights of the terrace
Reflected
In so many eyes

[Verse 2]
The music is loud
So loud and so wild
The dancers will pass
The expressionless child
And the night is so dark
It's so warm and so black
Like the lights of the terrace
Reflected
In so many eyes

[Chorus]
And this is the last dance
Of a lifetime
The world changes tomorrow
For good, in so many ways
It's the last, yes, it's the last dance
Of a lifetime
Remember it well, it's all that you tell
Of these days

[Verse 3]
Now the men in dark suits
With carnations of blood
And there are ladies in white
On the steps where I stood
And the night is so dark
It's so warm and so black
Like the lights of the terrace
Reflected
In so many eyes

[Instrumental]

[Chorus]
And this is the last dance
Of a lifetime
The world changes tomorrow
For good, in so many ways
It's the last, yes, it's the last dance
Of a lifetime
Remember it well, it's all that you tell
Of these days

[Verse 4]
And now the curtain comes down
The stage is empty and bare
And it's hard to recall
That once you were there
And all you can do
Before your memory dies
Is look for the lights
Reflected
In so many eyes...
