VERSE 1 Male: I picked a rose among these ancient walls A garden made for love but nothing grows at all I heard your laughter and I almost knew That we′d share our life together Female: And still surrounded by this fortress strong Kept from your loving arms too long CHORUS Both: If we just close our eyes and begin a new day We could turn back the time to a world far away Where our hearts beat as one through the passing of ages Male: Oh, we could turn back time start a brand new day Female: If we just close our eyes VERSE 2 Male: I saw you walking with the sacred fire A girl her eyes so wild with anger and confusion The only spark of life to grace this land Both: We shared this hope eternal (Male whisper: eternal) Female: And now it seems as though you′ve found your place (Male: found your place) Lost my loving embrace CHORUS BRIDGE Male: I′ll give more than forever Female: Our love will carry us away Both: Together we′ll fly if we just close our eyes CHORUS repeat first 2 lines of chorus, with improvisation
