Lyrics Vanity - Steve Lawrence

Vanity

Enter the scenery of love
Lovers are in pain
They blame and pick on each other
You play melodies of love
Forgotten phrases
Tender and sweet
Come a little bit closer
Don’t stay in the shadows my boy
(la la la la la la la)
The melody’s fading…
Now or never, love will go
I’ll be there by your side
Share your fears in the silent redemption
Touch my lips, hold me tight
Live in vanity for a while
As winter melts in the sun
Boys will be out running and reaching for the light
Oh mother please find me in that place
Before the memories tear us into pieces
Clinging to affection, we somehow do learn to live
(la la la la la la la)
In endless motion
Never coming back, love will go
You’ll be there by my side
You may never know my devotion
Feel my breath in the quiet night
Live in vanity forever
Won’t you feel my gentle emotion
Let us live in peace with conviction
If you’re here please hold me
