| When we met, she was a child
|
| Barely sixteen
|
| Awkward and yet
|
| She had an air
|
| I’ve never seen
|
| I knew I’d found
|
| My perfect face
|
| Deep in her eyes
|
| New ways to dream
|
| And we inspired
|
| New ways to dream
|
| Talkies came
|
| I stayed with her
|
| Took up this life
|
| Threw away fame
|
| Please understand
|
| She was my wife
|
| We had achieved far more than most
|
| We gave the world new ways to dream
|
| Everyone needs new ways to dream
|
| Are you saying you were married to her?
|
| I was the first husband
|
| So I play this game
|
| Keeper of the flame
|
| Sharing with her one last dream
|
| Don’t you think I knew it never could come true?
|
| She’ll be the very last one to surrender
|
| I will not allow her to surrender |
