Verse 1 Male: I picked a rose among these ancient walls A garden made for love But nothing grows at all I heard your laughter and I almost knew That wed share our life together Female: and still surrounded by this fortress strong Kept from your loving arms too long Chorus Both: if we just close our eyes and begin a new day We could turn back the time to a world far away Where our hearts beat as one through the passing of ages Male: oh, we could turn back time start a brand new day Female: if we just close our eyes
Verse 2 Male: I saw you walking with the sacred fire A girl her eyes so wild with anger and confusion The only spark of life to grace this land Both: we shared this hope eternal (male whisper: eternal) Female: and now it seems as though youve found your place (male: found your place) Lost my loving embrace Chorus Bridge Male: Ill give more than forever Female: our love will carry us away Both: together well fly if we just close our eyes Chorus Repeat first 2 lines of chorus, with improvisation
