BROADWAY BALLAD

AAaAASAAAAA  You may be far too busy to re-
 neInDeE
 But if you do-perhaps you can
 recall
 The tiny inn we knew that last De-
 cember,
 The mystic shadows racing on the
 wall,
 And phrases that were beautiful as
 laughter
 That told of love and faith and
 constancy,
 For we had planned a magical
 thereafter
 Nor stopped to ask the fiddler for
 his fee ....
 So for a while we fed our healthy
 hunger
 And wrote new lyrics to an old
 refrain,
 So for a while our dreams grew ever
 younger
 Before old ghosts came tapping
 on the pane.
 But now it's time to wrap those
 dreams away
 .Tomorrow's due. and you. were
 Yesterday!
