If my soul could talk to you here's what I'd say
I would reminisce every sweet kiss of yesterday
To all you young fools I've got a lonesome surprise
Time won't turn back and light a candle when love dies
When your baby says goodbye
That's when you'll find your stairway to the sky
In the ashes of dreams you let die
You may dream you're close to her, what if you're wrong?
If she tore apart your poor heart would you go on
Or would you break down in sentimental refrain?
Go round and round in rhapsody of lasting pain
When your baby says goodbye
That's when with every beat of your heart
Will cry for the ashes of dreams you let die
Dreams you let die, dreams you let die
