Lyrics

Fairy tales are told the children
Tucked away to rest
Stories for the trusting spirit
Fantasized in jest
By the time we learn to reason
Life has lost its cheer
And now and then I wonder at
The fate of being here
There's a song, a hallelujah
There's a dance, a moving thing
It begins and then it's ended
It's a drama happening
There's a sigh that is eternal
And a lonely, lonely song
And a love that is abiding
And a torch to carry on
In the twinkling of a moment
There are dreams that fade away
And you never know what's coming
As you live from day to day
There are stars that shine and sparkle
There's a moon that pulls the sea
There is love forever after
And there's love for you and me
In the twinkling of a moment
There will come some other times
That will set your head to spinning
As the story still unwinds
There are stars that shine and sparkle
There's a moon that pulls the sea
There is time forever after
And there's love for you and me
There is time forever after
And there's love for you and me
