Rising goes the curtain song I've held my breath for far too long And here a chance has come along Let's take it now before it's gone Welcome to the notes and chords From tuned-vibration sounding boards And to the songs I learned by rote I'll play them too, and I'll leave no note And when the music starts, will I know what to say Without any doubt standing in the way? One day soon I might sincerely try But I can't find words to fit my heart's reply

I thought I heard a song in the evening And I thought the woodwinds had carried the tune Playing a melody that I knew And I thought it was you I thought I'd been in love for the last time And I thought I'd left what was good in the past And as so many dreams came so fast All I knew couldn't last But oh, it was an honest mistake I can't rue or regret it I can't find fault with the errs of my heart In your case Am I the first to be fooled Or the last to admit it? I freely admit my mistakes Won't remain in the past And when I took a walk through a garden With all of the flowers in varying hues There was a quiet song coming through And I thought it was you

I wrote a song of love I wasn't really sure I wasn't in-the-know I didn't know the score I played it when we met And how could it be true? It felt like all the words Were always meant for you But a sail is a rag When the wind doesn't blow And a seed like a stone Without water to grow They were words from my heart And I felt they were true But they didn't make sense Till I sang them for you And had it been my wish The feeling to describe I doubt that on that night I could have even tried But if life is like a stage And I must play my part Then it was by some grace I knew the words by heart As a sail is a rag When the wind doesn't blow And a seed like a stone Without water to grow They were words from my heart And I felt they were true But they didn't make sense Till I sang them for you And please don't think me false And sentimental, too To say before we'd met I wrote them all for you

The Sun may pass through the sky And hours may pass me right by But time won't be wasted If I waste time with you In morning, daytime, or night I don't need to put up a fight 'Cause time won't be wasted If I waste time with you Each day I start And new loves fill my heart But your love is better than these With every day that is new I hope I can spend it with you 'Cause time won't be wasted If I waste time with you No, time won't be wasted If I waste time with you The dreams that never came true Are only the one's without you And time won't be wasted If I waste time with you No, time won't be wasted If I waste time with you

Day was on the edge of night When something killed the light But that was fine with me Set against a dying day Some lightning bugs to light the way Are all I really need I followed a road of twilight 'till I hit the stars You get to a spot that's clear, look up and there they are And as the world was passing by, I was too amazed to wonder why Why I had never seen so many stars in all my life Somewhere up where I can't see, is there a star for me? 'Cause oh, it won't come down Can I tell the meaning of a love my heart keeps dreaming of Can those words be found? I'm thinking about the things that almost brought me down I'm thinking about the times when no one was around And when I thought that I was through Well, if I only really knew That the Star of St. Angelo was watching over you Is it true?
