 Broadway Ballad (By Don Wahn) Are you for tavernS when the moon IS low? And night comes down to stir the listleSs heart? Are you for songs that filled the long ago? Before we grew too wise to grow apart? .. Always my thoughts goI drifting back to you. And all the magic of our gay routine When life was but a scented rendezvous And we assumed that eyry light was green .. You know how much I hope-that all is fine. That all your nights are softened with con- tent . And that his VOWS hold more of truth than mine. Before the coins of constancy are spent .. Are you for taverns when the moon is lov? Or have you learned what already know?
