First time I saw you The hands of time stood still For a moment you were back And then my heart stood still
But your arms belong To another man’s arms So I returned to my dreaming
We'll dance through the night Like planets turning round the sun And died upon the moonlight We stole glances like thieves in the night
But your arms belong To another man’s arms So I returned to my dreaming
I would lie around in my bed Wondering if I should get out of it But the old dog must be fed And I must sing, sing my unrequited love song
All through the evening And long winter nights I always adored you But from afar
We would come in disguise To the Le Grand Bal masquerade Where I would try To find my Electric, green-eyed girl But it's just a game To keep on playing Like hide and seek with your feelings
I would lie around in my bed Wondering if I should get out of it But the old dog must be fed And I must sing, sing my unrequited love song
All through the evening And long winter nights I always adored you But from afar
