Dearest Esmeralda-John Denver

[00:13.74]Dearest Esmeralda, in another age [00:20.36]Antiques would be modern, we would be the rage [00:27.17]Silk would be in fashion, we would dress in lace [00:34.05]Love would be the passion and the saving grace [00:40.46]I slept one rainy night with you in Paris [00:47.23]Made up for a thousand wasted years [00:54.12]Dearest Esmeralda, you are magic [01:00.19]I close my eyes and you make love appear [01:10.64]Dancing in the shimmer of a crystal chandelier [01:17.46]Shadows singin' so low only we could hear [01:23.84]Moving to the glimmer, shaking to the storm [01:30.87]Outside it was raging, but inside it was warm [01:39.12]We said goodnight in the candlelight and thunder [01:45.49]Now I wake and find you're never there [01:52.20]I'm becoming old enough to wonder [01:59.02]Happy that I'm still too young to care [02:18.75]Masterpieces crumble, empires tumble down [02:25.43]Refugees and fantasies go underground [02:32.01]Romance lasts forever, love don't fade away [02:38.78]They may take our future, but they can't stop yesterday [02:46.81]Cause somewhere in the cloudy skies of Paris [02:53.34]We were part of some artist's design [03:00.13]Dearest Esmeralda, you are magic [03:06.41]In the gray around me how you shine [03:12.32]Oh, oh, how you shine
