The Unbearable Lightness of Being

Oh, my darling man, would you ask me dance once more?

Take my hands in your hands once more?

Oh, my only dear, would you take me away from here?

Would you help me abate my fears? I have dreams of a cottage by the shore

I have dreams, such dreams, so vivid they’re real in my mind,

But to lay with you is all I can do just to find

The unbearable lightness of being.

In a gentleman’s bowler hat, staring in the looking glass at you

‘Til we fall to the floor together, light as a feather, to do

Some dreaming, some dreaming… Some dreaming, some dreaming.

I have dreams, such dreams, so vivid they’re real in my mind,

But to lay by you is all I can do just to find

The unbearable lightness of being.
