lyrics

Somewhere across the sea
I know a ship is waiting for me.

Clearest water
Long-lost summer
of what might have been.

It’s a happy time
when the moon shines down
on you and me.

* * *

I wore camellias every day
and Jolie Fleur perfume.

And every night
the band would play
the same old tune.

My first party dress,
my single blessedness.

And why reach for the moon
when we can have the stars?

* * *

Autumn, winter
make me shiver.
It’s that time of year.

A handkerchief
filled up with
gratitude and tears.

There were times when I
almost felt alive.

And this is my farewell
to Rudolph Valentine.
