Bagatelle - The Terrace lyrics

Now the curtain is raised on days
And memory rolls back
Though dark, silent waves
And the night is so dark
It's so warm and so black
Like the lights of the terrace reflected
In so many eyes

The music is loud so loud and so wild
The dancers will pass
The expressionless child
And the night is so dark
It's so warm and so black
Like the lights of the terrace reflected
In so many eyes

And this is the last dance of a lifetime
The world changes tomorrow
For good, in so many ways
It's the last, yes, it's the last dance
Of a lifetime
Remember it well, it's all that you tell
Of these days

Now the men in dark suit's
With carnations of blood
And there are ladies in white
On the steps where I stood
And the night is so dark
It's so warm and so black
Like the lights of the terrace reflected
In so many eyes

And this is the last dance of a lifetime
The world changes tomorrow
For good, in so many ways
It's the last, yes, it's the last dance
Of a lifetime
Remember it well, it's all that you tell
Of these days

And now the curtain comes down
The stage is empty and bare
And it's hard to recall
That once you were there and all you can do
Before your memory dies
Is look for the lights reflected
In so many eyes
