Lyrics
There's a midnight flame of gold
In your window
And there's a shadow there you throw
Across the frame
Will I see you there again
Will this dreaming ever end
I don't know
I don't know when
There's a story that I tell myself
Each evening
And it says that you're in love
With only me
Will it come around again
If I toss it to the wind
I don't know
I don't know when
(chorus)
Once upon a time I got my courage up
So high
And told the story word for word
So I don't know why
But when the words got through
You didn't see it true
And you said goodbye
(lead)
(repeat verse 1)
