  Alone in the shadows, of a willow tree              
  I watched from the dark                             
  As you crossed through the park                     
  Coming closer to me                                 
  Those brief moments return of the day we first met  
  The time we shared with that special care           
  Free from all jealousy                              
  There must be a distant place                       
  Far from every wrong face                           
  Tears won't fall by chance                          
  On this sweet romance ...
                                                      
  Where the light of the moon, and the lay of the land
  Brightened the way of so many nights                
  Helping us understand                               
  The line that we crossed, to climb those hills
  Gave us the strength to never fear                  
  The hurting talk folks want to hear                 
  There must be a different place                     
  Far from every wrong face                           
  Tears won't fall by chance                          
  On this sweet romance ...                            
                                                      
  When they hear, of our last goodbye                 
  They'll have to seek another dream to surprise      
  With desperate lies                                 
  As we parade, far from these streets                
  We'll be side by side, livin life in pride          
  With love's lullabye                                
  There must be a distant place                       
  Far from every wrong face                           
  Tears won't fall by chance                          
  On this sweet romance ...
