What a day for laughter and walking at night
Me following after your hand holding tight
And the memory stays clear with the song that you hear
If I can but make the words awake the feeling
Orchestral solo over

Verse 3
What a reason for waiting and dreaming of dreams
So here's hoping you've faith in impossible schemes
That are born in the sigh of the wind blowing by
While the morning light brings the end to a night of loving
Interlude and orchestral solo repeat
End on D
