[00:13.74]Dearest Esmeralda, in another age
[00:20.36]Antiques would be modern, we would be the rage
[00:27.17]Silk would be in fashion, we would dress in lace
[00:34.05]Love would be the passion and the saving grace
[00:40.46]I slept one rainy night with you in Paris
[00:47.23]Made up for a thousand wasted years
[00:54.12]Dearest Esmeralda, you are magic
[01:00.19]I close my eyes and you make love appear
[01:10.64]Dancing in the shimmer of a crystal chandelier
[01:17.46]Shadows singin' so low only we could hear
[01:23.84]Moving to the glimmer, shaking to the storm
[01:30.87]Outside it was raging, but inside it was warm
[01:39.12]We said goodnight in the candlelight and thunder
[01:45.49]Now I wake and find you're never there
[01:52.20]I'm becoming old enough to wonder
[01:59.02]Happy that I'm still too young to care
[02:18.75]Masterpieces crumble, empires tumble down
[02:25.43]Refugees and fantasies go underground
[02:32.01]Romance lasts forever, love don't fade away
[02:38.78]They may take our future, but they can't stop yesterday
[02:46.81]Cause somewhere in the cloudy skies of Paris
[02:53.34]We were part of some artist's design
[03:00.13]Dearest Esmeralda, you are magic
[03:06.41]In the gray around me how you shine
[03:12.32]Oh, oh, how you shine
