The lavender and moonlight The sweet perfume of nightfall A carousel of lovers Whose indiscretions are benign A catalog of heartache Whose pages will not let themselves be turned Chorus Your omnipresence in my dreams Takes more a toll than it redeems And I admit I cant forget you So if youll be my valentine I swear to be your Valentino I confess that I still love you The winding road bears solace The tortured soul has been released The mockingbird is songless But what he sings cant be denied And metaphors of romance Mean not a thing if theyre misunderstood
