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

Female: Our love will carry us away
Both: Together we'll fly if we just close our eyes
