Lyrics
Tonight I close my eyes
And I start wishing you were here;
And even though you’re not around,
The vision is so clear—
Of all the nights spent dreamin',
Of warmer days gone by;
Of sunlit colors beamin'
A miracle across the sky.
But dreams that never come true
Aren’t always dreams that die;
You became someone I didn’t know,
While I became cavalier.
Now in my heart it’s true:
I still see you
Every time I stop and close my eyes;
I can hear the music play,
And I remember—
I can hear it,
I just can’t play it anymore.
Maybe I can improvise . . .
The sun, the moon, December, June,
The years go on, the same old tune
Resounding somewhere far away
From any hall I knew.
There was a time when I could play it,
And voices sang for free;
A symphony of plaudits—
Aristocrat and bourgeoisie.
These dreams I live my life through--
They ease my pain;
I don’t know how to reach you—
I keep calling out your name.
I know in my heart it’s true:
I still see you
Every time I stop and close my eyes;
I can hear the music play
And I remember--
I can hear it,
I just can’t play it anymore.
Maybe I can improvise . . .

It’s true:
I still see you
Every time I stop and close my eyes;
I can hear the music play
And I remember—
I can hear it,
I just can’t play it anymore.
Maybe I can improvise . . .
