John Denver - Dearest Esmeralda Lyrics
This song appears on four albums, and was first released on the I want to live album, and has also been released on the changes, reflections: songs of love and life and the country roads collectLbums.Dearest esmeralda, in another ageAntiques would be modern, we would be the rageSilk would be in fashion, we would dress in laceLove would be the passion and the saving graceI slept one rainy night with you in parisMade up for a thousand wasted yearsDearest esmeralda, you are magicI close my eyes and you make love appearDancing in the shimmer of a crystal chandelierShadows singin so low only we could hearMoving to the glimmer, shaking to the stormOutside it was raging, but inside it was warmWe said goodnight in the candlelight and thunderNow I wake and find youre never thereIm becoming old enough to wonderHappy that Im still too young to careMasterpieces crumble, empires tumble downRefugees and fantasies go undergroundRomance lasts forever, love dont fade awayThey may take our future, but they dont stop yesterdaycause somewhere in the cloudy skies of parisWe were part of some artists designDearest esmeralda, you are magicIn the gray around me how you shineOh oh, how you shineWords and music by bill danoff
