Sitting thinking alone as we often do
In a romantic sunset I picture me and you
There are times when you’re close to me wherever you are
And yet times when you’re far away when I’ve lost my heart

In the moments when everything’s so beautiful and sad,
The melodies flow through me to you and I’m glad
There’s a meeting place we can go to In our hearts.

What’s it like for the lonely the weak and the old
Why should children feel frightened why should we be so cold
And yet times the worlds full of such love and beauty
With its art and its culture and warm harmonies

What a paradox of man that’s so needlessly
A cross we could overcome easily
If we just stopped pretending and learned
How to open our hearts.
