Chris De Burgh - Bal Masque lyrics

So many hearts, so many years, so many people in this vale of tears
But there is one you will meet again, in this endless duet of the dance
Then the carriages come and the ladies descend with their dreams
With the gloves and the mask, nothing is here what it seems

One touch is all it takes, two hearts will meet again
I will know you tonight when I see you at the Bal Masque
One touch is all it takes, two hearts will celebrate
In the heat of the night, when I see you at the Bal Masque

Another face from another time, another place in another life
Behind the mask is an open door to the someone that you've been before
Then the music begins, and the colours are starting to change
She comes in from the garden, I know that it's her right away

One touch is all it takes, two hearts will meet again
I will know you tonight when I see you at the Bal Masque
One touch is all it takes, two hearts will celebrate
In the heat of the night, when I see you at the Bal Masque
At the Bal Masque, at the Bal Masque, at the Bal Masque
At the Bal Masque, at the Bal Masque, at the Bal Masque
So many hearts, so many years
Another face from another time
Another face in another life, at the Bal Masque
So many hearts, so many years
