Someday the silver moon and I
|
Will go to dreamland.
|
I will close my eyes
|
And wake up there in dreamland
|
But tell me who will put flowers
|
On a flower's grave?
|
Who will say a prayer?
|
|
Will I meet a China rose there in dreamland?
|
Or does love lie bleeding in dreamland?
|
Are these days gone forever and always?
|
|
If we are to die tonight
|
Is there moonlight up ahead?
|
And if we are to die tonight,
|
Another rose will bloom
|
For a faded rose.
|
Will I be the one that you save?
|
I love it when it showers,
|
But no one puts flowers
|
On a flower's grave.
|
|
As one rose blooms another will die
|
It's always been that way.
|
I remember the showers,
|
But no one puts flowers
|
On a flower's grave.
|
|
If we are to die tonight
|
Is there moonlight up ahead?
|
I remember the showers,
|
But no one puts flowers
|
On a flower's grave,
|
|
