She wanted black roses
mixed with midnight blue
He gave to her the evening sky
and a dream come true
They danced together in twilight
where black meets blue
Her satin dress against his skin
His words to her
I love you
He built for her a castle
with walls made of dreams
She wrote for him a love song
he loves to hear her sing
Though she cries a thousand tears
he’ll treasure each and every one
He’ll hold her in his arms of love
and dry them as they run
Play for me on solemn chords
the dreams I dream at night
Wrap your melody around my words
let them dance till morning light
Dream for me a dream come true
close your eyes of misty blue
She wanted black roses
mixed with midnight blue
He gave to her the evening sky
and a dream come true
They danced together in twilight
where black meets blue
Her satin dress against his skin
His words to her
I love you
